Description:
„"Казахстанские" - higher-class regional cigarettes, produced during the Kazakh SSR period. The package depicts the coat of arms of the Kazakh SSR with a stylized mountain motif (the silhouette of Khan Tengri raised at the top) - one of the most beautiful designs of the USSR period, reflecting regional pride. The color combination of the package (white background, red border and sun-shaped emblem) was intended to emphasize the republic's identity and the high quality of the product.
Value assessment:
Collectible value: High. "Kazakhstanskie" is considered one of the more sought-after regional editions of USSR cigarettes due to the symbolism of the Kazakh SSR and their rather limited distribution. Such packs, especially with the original cellophane, are valued both among post-Soviet collectors and buyers in the Western market.
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition, cellophane naturally aged in places (slightly yellowish tone on top).
Historical data and popularity: This issue belonged to the fourth class ("Класс четвёртый"), but had a representative character. Due to its bilingualism (in Kazakh and Russian) and the image of the coat of arms, the package became one of the most recognizable Soviet regional designs.
