The Pskov Kremlin is an architectural complex of the 12th-19th cc. The stamp features the Ploskaya (Flat) Tower at the Lower grate (1500), Kutekroma Tower (1400) and the Trinity Cathedral (1682-1699).

A wooden Triumphal Arch was created in 1814 to the red carpet welcome of the Russian troops returning in triumph from Western Europe. But the memorial soon went to rack and ruin, and in 1826 it was decided to build a stone Triumphal Arch. O.I.Bove was ordered to design it. The construction of the first Moscow arch-form memorial since 1812 lasted from 1827 to 1834. In the period of Moscoe reconstruction in 1936 was knocked down, and it was only in 1968 that the Arch was rebuilt and set on the Victory Square not far from Poklonnaya Gora.

The Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow is the largest museum of Russian art in the world. It was founded in 1856 by P.M.Tretyakov as a private collection. In 1892 he granted it to Moscow together with his brother's collection. After 1917 the gallery was refilled with the collections of several museums and rich collections of Ancient Russian icons of the 11th-17th cc, painting of the 18th-20th cc, sculpture and graphics. The Gallery is situated in the former house of the Tretyakovs. The stamp features the housefront, designed by V.M. Vasnetsov and built in 1902.
