This Soviet postage stamp, issued in 1957, depicts a Soviet architect or engineer, symbolizing the nation’s postwar reconstruction and urban development drive. The design shows a serious-faced professional holding architectural plans, with cranes and new buildings in the background — a tribute to the Five-Year Plans and the massive construction of new cities and housing complexes during the Khrushchev era.

Printed in brown monochrome, the stamp captures the aesthetic of 1950s socialist realism — celebrating the worker-intellectual as a builder of the socialist future. The inscription reads “Почта СССР” (Post of the USSR) and bears the 25 kopeks denomination.
