The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. Mahatma Gandhi.

Hello again! This is a marvellous series focused on soviet agriculture. Would like some translation on this series from you guys. Without been able to read Russian, I can guess that the Khrouchtchev era is promoting agriculture that was put aside by stalin in favor of intense industrialisation. Am I right or wrong concerning this series?

Scanning just one stamp of the group would make it easier to read & translate

But there are some lovely blocks that you have.

Have you tried google translate? It's a bit of work but you can use a virtual cyrillic keyboard:

and then - copy and paste into google and translate to english

re: RUSSIA 1957 SERIES ON AGRICULTURE.

"40 Years of the Great October Socialist Revolution!" A stamp for each of the SSRs. You have a Latvia CCP block, then a Lithuania one, then Moldavia, Armenia, Belorussia, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Estonia, Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, RSFSR, Azerbaijan, Tadzhikistan, and finally (and least legibly) Ukraine. Eight designers worked on these; I actually like the first one best, by A.Zviedris, not a name I am familiar with!

You are right in placing this set shortly after the 20th Party Congress (the one in which Khrushchev moved the party away from Stalinism), but I don't think it's a specifically agricultural set. Check out "20th Communist Party Congress" on Wikipedia for further research on this part of Soviet history. The stamps of the period tell us much.

re: RUSSIA 1957 SERIES ON AGRICULTURE.

Thanks for such precious information Guthrum. Of course, 15 different stamps= 15 republics! I should have thought about it, stupid me! 12 states before 1940, then 15 after the invasion of the Baltic states by stalin in 1940. It doesn't mean that a series of 15 represents automatically each of those states, of course. But at least one can start his investigation on this. Thanks very much!
