This striking two-stamp set was issued by the Soviet Union in 1962 to commemorate the eradication of malaria within its territory. The 4 kopeck (blue) and 6 kopeck (olive green) stamps feature a bold design of a mosquito crossed by text proclaiming “In the USSR, Malaria is Defeated!” and the international medical emblem with a red serpent. The issue highlights the USSR’s contribution to global health and the worldwide struggle against malaria, making it both a historical and medical thematic collectible. With its sharp modernist design and strong propaganda message, it is a sought-after set for collectors of medical, public health, and Soviet topical issues.
