Today, on November 6, 2013 is celebrated the 70th
anniversary of the Liberation of the Ukraine capital, city - hero Kiev from the
fascist aggressors. With festive congratulations the President of Ukraine
addressed to the war veterans, the Kiev inhabitants and all Ukrainian people. The state enterprise "Ukrposhta" also seeks to
march in step over time. For coming nearer heroic-historical date to the 70
anniversary of liberation of Ukraine from the German-fascists occupation which
will be celebrated next year in October, the post workers prepared beforehand a
pre-paid cover which design was offered by an employees of the National Museum
of the Great Patriotic War history. The artist of cover Anatoly Musiyenko – author
of the previous postage envelopes published by program "family memory
about war".
In memory of the Ukraine liberation this year in October is
introduced into post circulation a pre-paid envelope printed by edition of semi-million
copies. The picture on cover reproduces a fragment of meeting of the Ukraine inhabitants
by a soldier-liberators. Background drawing is the historical schematic
map of operations of 1941 on defeat of parts of Red Army and capture of the
Ukrainian territory by the German Wehrmacht armies.
In light of recent attempts by the separatist Ukrainian
ideologues, "liberal reformers" and the leaders of the "color
revolutions" in favor of a national ideology and political interests
distort the memory of the Great Patriotic War and rewrite recent history, like
"post" is not accidental incident. The museum workers and issue author
could represent the envelope map of offensive operations of the Red Army in
1944 for the liberation of Ukraine. Instead, they prefer to present a very
different episode of the war, having called it "Liberation of
Ukraine".
