Russia: Anik Mountain in the Sikhote-Alin

Yesterday I got three postcards: one from Russia and two from Malaysia.

The card from Russia shows the Anik Mountain in the Sikhote-Alin. The Sikhote-Alin is a mountain range in the Russian Far East. It is known for its temperate forests and the many endangered animals living there. The Anik Mountain is the third highest peak of the mountain range and also the highest peak of the Primorsky Krai. The Central Sikhote-Alin is since 2001 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It is an official card: RU-4586498


Stamps:
Flora of Russia (from set of four) (issued 04-03-2013)
Alley of Russia (from set of four) (issued 16-04-2015)
In 2014 Russian citizens were able to vote for the plant symbol of their regions. The British Oak became the symbol of Moscow. 


Thank You very much Irina!
