This 4 kopeck commemorative stamp from the Soviet Union was issued in 1966 to honor Fyodor Yegorovich Strelets (Ф. Е. Стрелец), a Hero of the Soviet Union. The design features a finely detailed black-and-white portrait of Strelets in military uniform, set against a rose-red background, symbolizing courage and sacrifice. To the lower right appears the Gold Star medal, the nation’s highest distinction for heroism.

The inscription along the vertical edge reads “ПОЧТА СССР • 1966” (Post of the USSR • 1966), and at the bottom “ГЕРОЙ СОВЕТСКОГО СОЮЗА Ф. Е. СТРЕЛЕЦ” identifies the honoree. This issue is part of a series commemorating Heroes of the Soviet Union, reflecting the USSR’s mid-1960s focus on patriotic remembrance of wartime valor.
