Issued by the Soviet Union in 1981, this commemorative 4 kopeck stamp marks the 60th anniversary of the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASSR). The design reflects the republic’s industrial progress, featuring imagery of railways, oil rigs, pipelines, and heavy machinery—symbols of the region’s contribution to Soviet development. The USSR state emblem crowns the composition, while traditional Komi patterns decorate the background, blending local culture with socialist achievement. The bold red “60 лет” (60 years) emphasizes the milestone of Komi’s founding in 1921.
