This Soviet commemorative stamp was issued in 1970 to mark the 25th anniversary of Hungary’s liberation from fascist occupation at the end of World War II. The central design prominently displays the coat of arms of the Hungarian People’s Republic, symbolizing postwar socialist solidarity between Hungary and the USSR. Behind it rises a detailed cityscape of Budapest, including landmarks such as the Liberty Statue on Gellért Hill and the Parliament Building. At the bottom, stylized figures and tanks represent the Red Army’s role in Hungary’s liberation.

The brown, gold, and red tones evoke both commemoration and socialist unity, with inscriptions in Russian reading “25 years since the liberation of Hungary from fascist rule” and “Post of the USSR.”
