The postage stamp depicts the Memorial of Glory to the home front workers in Novosibirsk.
The memorial includes a steam locomotive of the FD series ("Felix Dzerzhinsky"), installed in 1980. This 3000th anniversary locomotive was built in 1940 at the Voroshilovgrad Locomotive Plant. It was decided to transfer it to the Tomsk Railway in the Novosibirsk depot, and specifically to the driver Nikolai Lunin, the organizer of the Luninsky movement. During the period of the Great Patriotic War that soon began, Felix Dzerzhinsky No. 3000 drove military echelons along the Tomsk railway.
