The size is 6 ¼" x 4 ½", postally unused, published by the Ministry of Communications of the USSR, circulation unknown. The pre-printed postal stamp is canceled with the First Day stamp issued by the Zhitomir Post Office commemorating not so much Sergey Korolev, Chief Designer of the Soviet space craft and the leading figure of the entire Soviet space exploration program, as the monument to him, erected in the city of Zhitomir. The artwork in the left pane of the obverse shows an artist's rendition of the monument. A second postal stamp, placed in an unusual spot and glorifying the Soviet Armed Forces, is canceled with the First Day stamp commemorating the 1100th anniversary of the city of Zhitomir in Ukraine, issued by the Zhitomir Post Office and dated 14 September 1984. A confusing but entertaining effort of the Zhitomir Post Office to create something resembling a first day cover.

In excellent condition.
