This 150 millime broadcast commemorates the sixtieth anniversary of the October Socialist Revolution, testifying to the diplomatic and cultural relations between Tunisia and the Soviet Union during the 1970s. Hatem El Mekki composes a powerful visual combining the portrait of Lenin on a red flag flying above the domes and towers of the Kremlin. This postal figurine illustrates the desire of the Tunisian Republic to open itself to the major currents of world history and to mark the ideological milestones which transformed the 20th century. It establishes the stamp as a medium of international memory, reflecting an era of multilateral dialogue and recognition of the movements that have shaped modern geopolitics.
