Confirmed varieties of Sports and Travel

​

In a 1959 issue of postage stamps dedicated to travel and tourism within the Soviet Union, the designers captured the country’s ambition to open up its natural treasures: picturesque landscapes, river runs, mountain passes and forest expanses — all united by the idea of active recreation and communal travel as a form of socialist leisure. The stamp, with its dynamic imagery, invites movement toward nature, its beauty and new discoveries, emphasizing that tourism is not merely rest, but a part of the broader social and cultural life of the people.
