Cover «First day. Sixties»

Description:

In 2019, Ukrposhta put into circulation a postage stamp dedicated to the Sixties, a young generation of Ukrainian national intellectuals with a clear civic position formed during the temporary "thaw" of the Soviet regime (second half of the 1950s - early 1960s).

The postage stamp depicted Alla Horska's work "Ivan Svitlychnyi" (1963), and the envelope actually featured a photo portrait of Alla Horska.

Alla Horska was a prominent representative of the Sixties movement, a monumentalist artist, and a human rights activist. Her stained-glass window, created to mark the 150th anniversary of Taras Shevchenko at the university of the same name, was destroyed by the administration of the educational institution on the instructions of the party leadership, and the artist herself was murdered at the age of 41 under circumstances that have not been fully clarified.
