Two weeks ago on Tuesday I got a postcard from Vietnam.
It is a maxicard about Vladimir Lenin. Vladimir Lenin, the famous Russian revolutionary, politician and political theorist, was born on 22nd April 1870 and thus this year his 150th birthday is celebrated. At this moment Vietnam is still the only country to have issued a stamp about this jubilee (issued 22-04-2020), which was used on this maxicard. Russia actually also planned one for April, but it was postponed to next week. Not sure how many other countries will issue Lenin stamps this year.
Beside the Lenin stamp again two other stamps were used on this card. The left one is from a set of four about Silk Paintings (issued 01-04-2019) and the one on the right shows another famous Communist politician, Hi Chi Minh (issued 16-05-2020). It commemorates his 130th birthday and the 50th anniversary of the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hanoi.
Thank You very much Phan!
