FDC made in the Soviet Union, 1981. The text on the postcard reads:”Academician S.P. Korolov75th. Birthday”.
Sergei Pavlovich Korolev (1907-1966) was a lead Soviet rocket engineer and spacecraft designer during the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s.
He is regarded by many as the father of practical astronautics. He was involved in the development of the R-7 Rocket, Sputnik 1, launching Laika, Belka and Strelka and the first human being, Yuri Gagarin, into space. Arrested on a false official charge as a “member of an anti-Soviet counter-revolutionary organization” (which would later be reduced to “saboteur of military technology”), he was imprisoned in 1938 for almost six years, including some months in a Kolyma labour camp.
Following his release he became a recognized rocket designer and a key figure in the development of the Soviet Intercontinental ballistic missile program. He later directed the Soviet space program and was made a Member of Soviet Academy of Sciences, overseeing the early successes of the Sputnik and Vostok projects including the first human Earth orbit mission by Yuri Gagarin on 12 April 1961. Korolev’s unexpected death in 1966 interrupted implementation of his plans for a Soviet crewed Moon landing before the United States 1969 mission.

Very heavy Che Guevara desktop made in 1978. Made from marble and stone. With signature of the maker. Ernesto “Che” Guevara (1928-1967) was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture.
As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout South America and was radicalized by the poverty, hunger, and disease he witnessed. His desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States. prompted his involvement in Guatemala’s social reforms.
Later in Mexico City, Guevara met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht Granma with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second in command and played a pivotal role in the victorious two-year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.

Clock with the image of Saddam Hussein. The clock is made in Russia, probably in the 1980’s. Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) took control of Iraq in 1979 making himself president until 2003.He was member of the Arab Socialist Baath Party.
In 1980 he started the Irak-Iran Wars until 1988. Irak was a secular state and Saddam saw the islamic revolution in Iran as a threat to Irak. In order to neutralize it he started the Irak-Iran War in 1980. Backed up by the Gulf States and the US.
After the war the economy of Iraq was almost bankrupt. Irak was heavenly in depth with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Kuwait was pumping up large amounts of oil keeping the oil price low so Iraq could not make a lot of money by selling oil themselfs in order to make the economie rise again. Also Iraq accused Kuwait of steeling oil in the border area by drilling sideways under the border.
In 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait. A strong international reaction followed isolating Iraq and resulting in the Gulf War ending that same year. In 2003 Iraq was invaded again under accusation that it was producing weapons of mass destruction. In that same year Saddam was captured and executed in 2006.

Soviet Union desktop ashtray made of porcelain. The text on the rocket reads:”Vostok-4″. Vostok 3 and Vostok 4 were launched a day apart in 1962 on trajectories that brought the spacecraft within approximately 6.5 km (4.0 mi) of one another. The cosmonauts aboard the two capsules also communicated with each other via radio, the first ship-to-ship communications in space. These missions marked the first time that more than one crewed spacecraft was in orbit at the same time, giving Soviet mission controllers the opportunity to learn to manage this scenario.
During the first day in orbit of Vostok 3, the cosmonaut unstrapped himself from his seat and became the first spacefarer to float freely in conditions of microgravity in space.
The mission led Western observers to speculate that the Soviets must already have spacecraft capable of in-orbit maneuvering. Official press releases made no mention that the Vostok spacecraft lacked this ability or that the two Vostoks were able to attain such close approach due to their extremely precise launches.

Big and heavy bust from Georgi Dimitrov. Has got some errosion spots on it. Georgi Dimitrov Mihaylov (1882-1949) was a Bulgarian communist politician. He was the first communist leader of Bulgaria from 1946 to 1949. Dimitrov led the Communist International from 1935 to 1943.
Dimitrov died on 2 July 1949 in the Barvikha sanatorium near Moscow. The rising speculations that he had been poisoned have never been confirmed, although his health seemed to deteriorate quite abruptly. The supporters of the poisoning theory claim that Stalin did not like the “Balkan Federation” idea of Dimitrov and his closeness with Tito. Others, most notably Enver Hoxha, suppose that Dimitrov was poisoned by Nikitia Khrushchev, Anastas Mikoyan, and other anti-Stalinists in the Soviet leadership. After the funeral, Dimitrov’s body was embalmed and placed on display in Sofia’s Georgi Dimitrov Mausoleum. After the fall of Communism in Bulgaria, his body was buried in Sofia’s central cemetery in 1990. His mausoleum was torn down in 1999.

Very old and extremely heavy bust of Jose Marti. It has been touched by time and has a beautiful patina. José Julian Martí y Pérez (1853-1895) was one of the leaders during the Cuban Independence War and also a valued poet and writer. Nowadays he is seen as Cuba’s most important national hero. In Vedado is the Martí Monument and the Cuba cemetery in Santiago de Cuba is a mausoleum in his memory.
In addition to a great writer, poet and journalist, Martí was also a painter. In 1867 he followed drawing and painting lessons at the Havana art academy. Partly because an independence revolt had broken out in Oriente, the colonial authorities were not pleased with criticism and José Martí was arrested in March 1869 and thrown in prison.
Four months later during the court session, Martí accepted the responsibility for this accusation and in his final plea he claimed Cuba’s right to independence. He was sentenced to six years in prison. On April 11, 1895, Martí led a landing of Cuban bannings and joined the troops of the Rebal General Máximo Gómez. Martí died during a battle against Spanish troops in the Battle of Dos Ríos on May 19, 1895.

FDC made in the Soviet Union, 1985. The text on the envelope reads:”Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-cosmonaut P.I. Belyayev”.
Pavel Ivanovich Belyayev (1925-1970) was a Soviet fighter pilot with extensive experience in piloting different types of aircraft. He was the first commander of the cosmonaut corps and the cosmonaut who commanded the historic Voskhod 2 mission which saw the first man walk in space in 1965.
After the success of the first Voskhod mission in 1964, a second more technically demanding mission was planned for 1965. Its primary aim was to have a cosmonaut leave the capsule and “space-walk”. Belyayev was confirmed as prime crew commander of Voskhod 2 just 3 days prior to launch. There had been concern about his mission fitness following a poor performance in the altitude chamber testing 2 months before. It was his crewman Alexei Leonov who finally reported that “Those responsible for the malfunction were the factory specialists supporting the equipment” and that Belyayev had successfully corrected the fault himself, thereby also taking responsibility for the problem himself.
Leonov, who had been chosen to perform the space walk described how he preferred to have Belyayev as his mission commander over Khrunov. “I lobbied hard for Pasha, whom I thought more capable than Khrunov. I had worked with him more; I trusted him.”
Belyayev has been commemorated with other prominent figures from the early Russian space program with a bust on Cosmonauts Alley in Moscow. Pavel Belyayev was awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union (23 March 1965), Order of Lenin, Order of the Red Star, numerous medals and foreign orders. He also bore the title of the Hero of Socialist Labor of Bulgaria, Hero of Vietnam, and Hero of Mongolia.

Minisheet made in North Korea, 1998, for the 100th anniversary of the birth of Liu Shaoqi. Liu Shaoqi (1898-1969) was a Chinese revolutionary, politician, and theorist.

Minisheet made in North Korea, 1998, for celebrating the 86th. birthday of Kim Il Sung. Kim was the son of parents who fled to Manchuria during his childhood to escape the Japanese rule of Korea. He attended elementary school in Manchuria and, while still a student, joined a communist youth organization. He was arrested and jailed for his activities with the group in 1929–30. After Kim’s release from prison, he joined the Korean guerrilla resistance against the Japanese occupation sometime during the 1930s and adopted the name of an earlier legendary Korean guerrilla fighter against the Japanese. Kim was noticed by the Soviet military authorities, who sent him to the Soviet Union for military and political training. There he joined the local Communist Party.
During World War II, Kim led a Korean contingent as a major in the Soviet army. After the Japanese surrender in 1945, Korea was effectively divided between a Soviet-occupied northern half and a U.S.-supported southern half. At this time Kim returned with other Soviet-trained Koreans to establish a communist provisional government under Soviet auspices in what would become North Korea. He became the first premier of the newly formed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in 1948, and in 1949 he became chairman of the Korean Workers’ (communist) Party.
In 1950 the Korean war started. . With help of Chinese support he was able to repel a subsequent invasion of North Korea by UN forces. The Korean War ended in a stalemate in 1953.
Kim Il Sung was leader of North Korea from 1948 until 1994 when he died. He outlived Stalin by 4 decades, Mao Zedong with 2, and stayed in power long enough to outrun 6 South Korean presidents, 9 USA presidents and 21 Japanese prime ministers. After his death his son Kim Jong Il became the leader of North Korea.
The North Korean government to this day refers Kim Il Sung as the Supreme Leader and the Eternal President.

Stamp made in North Korea, 1998, made in honour of the 1000ri long (250miles/400km.) journey Kim Il Sung has made on foot when he was 13 years old in 1922. He made the journey to protest the Japanese occupation by japan and did it in thirteen days.
Half the journey was on pathless track and he was exposed to wild beasts in the area. He went to a foreign country not to come back until Korea was an independed country.
Sometimes the jouney is used as a training exercise that challenges the limits of men but only by some troops such as the special forces or marines.
In 2008 a study tour for tracing the course of the 1,000-ri journey for national liberation made up of school youth and children from across the country came to a successful end.
