Frontline writers are a whole generation of true patriots of the country, who relied in their books on real events and their own frontline experience. A great contribution to the development of Soviet prose and poetry was made by writers who entered the great literature in the late 1950s – early 1960s. The postage stamps provide portraits of Viktor Astafiev, Vladimir Bogomolov, Yury Bondarev, Boris Vasiliev and Yulia Drunina against the backdrop of illustrations of their war works.
The face value of the postage stamps is 80 rubles; the Print Run is 18 thousand sheets. The design is by Artist Maxim Podobed. On May 8, 2024, the stamps were put into postal circulation and went on sale in post offices throughout the country and the Collectioner show room chain.
