Greetings friends!

Today we will continue to complete the World Fair "EXPO-75", Okinawa series of stamps issued in the USSR in 1975.

The strange thing is, every postage stamp in this series shows us one of the inhabitants of the seas that washed the Soviet Union. I said that the seas washed the country, in the past tense, this does not mean that these seas have disappeared from the map of the Earth, no, a country called the USSR has disappeared.

What's so strange about that?

It is strange how the choice of images for postage stamps was, for example, the Baltic Sea is presented in the form of an eel, the Caspian Sea presents us with a sturgeon, the Black Sea, this is a rapan shell, and, the fourth stamp looks somehow strange, it depicts a duck Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis).

In theory, speaking of the northern seas, the first thing that comes to mind from their inhabitants is the fish of the order of cod and Anarhichas.

But, someone decided that a duck can become a symbol of the northern seas, I will not argue with him lol.

This postage stamp has received 6,600,000 copies in galleries.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
