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

Thanks jimjung for the advice . I'll try it this evening. The writing on the stamp seems a bit small to ones eye! lol

"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.

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!

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?
