Friedrich Engels Cover from Russia

On Tuesday I got not only five postcards but also two covers including one from Russia.

An interesting stamp was used on the cover. It commemorates the 200th birthday of Friedrich Engels (issued 05-03-2020). Friedrich Engels was born on 28th November 1820 in Barmen, which is now a part of Wuppertal in the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia. He was a philosopher, historian, political scientist, revolutionary socialist, businessman, journalist and political activist and together with Karl Marx he developed the Marxism. Apart from Russia also China issued two stamps about Engels this year, but no stamp was issued here in his homeland.


Thank You very much Elena!
