Cover & Stamps from Ukraine!

Today I got a great cover and stamps from Ukraine! The cover had some nice stamps issued in 2012, some of which commemorate the film Man With a Movie Camera, which was a critically acclaimed  experimental film released in 1929. Included inside was a stamp issued in 2013 commemorating 1,025 years of the baptism of Kyivan Rus. This stamp was also jointly issued by Russia and Belarus. Lastly, a beautiful stamp booklet featuring Ukraine's 2009 Europa release was included! The two stamps feature the astronomer Galileo Galilei to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his pioneering use of the telescope. Thanks Anna!
