Russia: Sochi 2014 FDC

Very nice FDC with awesome stamps: Skeleton and Speed Skating, issued on 2014-01-24. Here are also two Kremlin stamps: Ryazan Kremlin and Zaraysk Kremlin, issued on 2009-10-01.


The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXII Olympic Winter Games  and commonly known as Sochi 2014, were a major international multi-sport event held from February 7 to February 23, 2014 in Sochi, Russia, with opening rounds in certain events held on the eve of the opening ceremony, 6 February 2014. Both the Olympics and 2014 Winter Paralympics were organized by the Sochi Organizing Committee. Sochi was selected as the host city in July 2007, during the 119th IOC Session held in Guatemala City. It was the first Olympics in Russia since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Soviet Union was the host nation for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.

I have also received in this fdc very nice old postcard from Soviet Union. This is Soviet space propaganda: Mars. Through sandy river, by A. Sokolov.


Thank You very much Genady!
