This attractive 1965 USSR commemorative pair showcases two iconic Russian dog breeds rendered in expressive, mid-century Soviet illustration style.
The 6 kopeks Borzoi depicts Russia’s elegant sighthound, long associated with aristocratic hunting traditions.
The 12 kopeks Siberian Laika highlights a hardy northern working breed, symbolizing endurance and loyalty in harsh climates.
Issued with clean typography and subtle background shading, these stamps are popular among animal, dog-breed, and Soviet thematic collectors.
A well-matched pair that fits neatly into wildlife, domestic animals, or Cold War-era postal history collections.
