This French commemorative stamp, issued in 1975, marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and the Soviet Union (URSS). The design features bold geometric forms in blue, white, and red, the national colors of France, juxtaposed with red and gold Soviet motifs, including the hammer and sickle emblem.

Created by Dessirier and Durrens, the composition symbolizes dialogue and balance between two contrasting political blocs during the Cold War. The modernist abstraction conveys cooperation, diplomacy, and mutual recognition that began in 1925.
