The Kwantung Army was the largest group of the Japanese imperial army during the Second World War. The offensive as part of the Manchurian operation began on the morning of August 9, 1945, in the framework of the implementation of the Yalta agreements with the Allies.

From August 19, Japanese troops began to lay down arms almost everywhere. During the operation, the Kwantung Army lost up to 83 thousand soldiers and officers dead, and the losses of captured, wounded and gone missing exceeded 640 thousand people.

On September 2 of 1945, the Act of Unconditional Surrender of Japan was signed aboard the Missouri American battleship, which marked the end of World War II.

The commemorative stamp features the image of the Order of Victory; the main illustration shows a meeting of Soviet tankers with the population of the city of Port Arthur.
