Confirmed varieties of Voskresensky

​

In 1959, the Soviet Union issued a commemorative postage stamp marking the 150th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Alexandrovich Voskresensky (1809–1880), a prominent Russian organic chemist. This stamp was part of a broader jubilee series honoring significant dates and notable figures in the sciences. The design features a portrait of Voskresensky rendered in a classic style to reflect his scholarly stature and his contributions to chemistry in Russia. Muted brown hues combined with a decorative blue border give the stamp a solemn and commemorative feel. This issue celebrates Voskresensky’s scientific legacy and highlights the importance of his work within the history of chemistry and Russian scientific achievement.
