Issued during the formative years of the Soviet Union between 1918 and 1923, this 5 kopek definitive stamp features a Red Army soldier in uniform, symbolizing the revolutionary spirit and militarized identity of the early Bolshevik regime. Printed in vivid red by typography, the design underscores the glorification of the proletarian warrior during the Russian Civil War and early years of Soviet state consolidation. The sheet shown here contains 100 stamps, each measuring approximately 21 x 28 mm, with comb perforation and printed on white paper. The margins bear Soviet press markings and overprint registration, a hallmark of state-controlled philatelic production. The stamps are cancelled-to-order (CTO) with clear postmarks dated 1933 from Moscow and Riga, a common practice for philatelic distribution in the Stalinist era. The sheet retains full original gum (OG), and while the front is clean with vibrant impressions, the reverse shows light folds consistent with archival storage. This issue is catalogued as Michel 676C. Condition Full CTO sheet with wide margins, overprint and cancellation in upper and lower quadrants, fresh color and clear detail, original gum intact, very fine overall. Estimate "$85 – 100".
