Combining these sites in one composition emphasizes ties between eras and generations, a connection between the past and the present. Nowadays, not only old buildings but also skyscrapers built over the last 10–15 years can be called the main landmarks of Moscow. The capital numbers 87 buildings, the height of which exceeds 100 m
“The stamps will spread all over the world and will also be included into philatelic catalogs and will become pride and joy of any philatelic collection. This will make a significant contribution to protecting cultural heritage and promoting tourism in Moscow”, said Mr. Shelikhov
