2020 Russia Lighthouse Stamps, 30 October 2020

On 30 September 2020 Russia issued a set of two stamps similar to those that were issued in previous years. These two stamps show lighthouses located in the eastern Crimea. It is interesting to note that the second stamp shown here, Meganom L/H,  is also pictured in the set issued by the Ukraine on 15 September 2020.
