The Vietnam Post Corporation released a new collection of stamps on April 22 to mark the 150th birthday of socialist scholar and politician Vladimir Lenin.

The collection features one graphic design that shows a portrait of Lenin, who lived from 1870 to 1924, a figure who is widely regarded as one of the great leaders of recent centuries, an outstanding political thinker, a scholar for the working class and labourers globally, as well as a key factor in Russia’s Great October Revolution.

The stamp is sized 37 x 37 (mm) and showcases an image created by local painter Pham Trung Ha.

The collection will be used in post offices nationwide between April 22 and December 31, 2021.
