Vintage USSR Postage Stamp Selection in Mini Stockbook

This item is a collection of Soviet-era (USSR) postage stamps meticulously housed within a small, light-blue philatelic stockbook or album page. The stamps primarily date from the late 1970s, as evidenced by the clear 1977 and 1979 date stamps on several issues. The collection showcases high-quality offset lithography or photogravure printing techniques, featuring a diverse range of themes. The upper section includes art-focused stamps, specifically portraiture and classical paintings, including a larger 'souvenir sheet' style stamp on the top right. Below these are stamps celebrating Russian folk arts and crafts, including delicate Vologda lace patterns, Khokhloma painted woodenware, Bogorodsk wood carvings, and a vibrant Zhostovo floral painted tray on the bottom stamp. Several stamps bear a circular black postal cancellation mark (postmark) from 'MO CKB A' (Moscow), indicating they are 'Used' or 'Canceled to Order' (CTO). The stamps appear to be in good condition with crisp serrated edges (perforations) and no visible significant tears or creases, although the mounting plastic is slightly reflective and the album paper shows a mild cream-toned natural aging patina. The variety in denominations (2k, 4k, 6k etc.) and the thematic consistency suggest a collector's topical assembly from the Soviet period.
