Description:
„"КОСМОС 2000" is a modernized version of the legendary Soviet "Kosmos" cigarettes, released to mark the transition to the new millennium. The packaging retains a futuristic, propaganda-type design - a white rocket with a red star flying through space, symbolizing technical progress and a nostalgic connection to the Soviet Union's achievements in space.
The LD logo embedded in the top edge of the pack indicates that this release was manufactured or licensed by Liggett Ducat, one of the most well-known Russian tobacco companies closely associated with the LD cigarette brand.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium-high. Although not as much of an anniversary edition as "Kosmos 1970", "Kosmos 2000" retains the iconic design and symbolism. The limited edition, LD marking, and space theme increase the collectible potential.
-
Condition assessment: Very good. Packaging is intact, original film in place, excise stamp and graphics clearly visible. Minor traces of storage visible only from very close up.
-
Historical data and popularity: This model was created to update the classic Kosmos packs while preserving their historical heritage. Collectors see it as a symbol of the transition from the USSR to the Russian market - it is not as common as the Kosmos Classic, but more visually memorable.
