Description:
This cigarette pack is a commemorative USSR issue dedicated to the anniversaries of 1654-1979. On the front side, a decorative scroll with the mentioned years is visible, and the entire composition is decorated with stylized Slavic folk ornaments painted in red and blue. At the bottom is a sign characteristic of the USSR tobacco industry. On the sides are dedicated information written in Russian. The design of the pack clearly represents the historical-anniversary nature and was intended as a symbolic issue, not for everyday distribution.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: High. This is a limited edition pack with a clear historical theme and production date. Collectors focused on commemorative USSR issues value such packs higher than standard serial products.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition (cellophane-wrapped, but some minor surface stains or frayed edges are visible).
-
Historical data and popularity: The edition is intended to commemorate the 325th anniversary of 1654. Although the exact historical context is not written on the package, it is most likely related to the 1654 agreement between the Tsardom of Moscow and the Ukrainian Cossacks (the Treaty of Pereyaslavl). Such an edition was limited in circulation and is now quite rare in collections.
