December 9, an official cancellation ceremony of a postage stamp dedicated to modern architecture of Moscow took place

The event took place as part of the Putevodnaya Zvezda Awards for outstanding achievements in hotel and tourist business in Moscow. The participants of the ceremony were Vladimir Shelikhov, Deputy Head of the Federal Communications Agency, and Vladimir Chernikov, Director of the Department of National Policy, Interregional Liaison and Tourism of Moscow



The postage stamp features not only modern architecture but also world-famous and recognizable view of the Moscow Kremlin, which has lived through all historical eras. 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
