Matchbox labels made in the Soviet Union, 1966. This serie is about Brest Fortress.
The fortress is located in Brest, Belarus. The fortress is a 19th. century Russian fortress. In 1965, the title Hero Fortress was given to the Fortress to commemorate the defence of the frontier stronghold during the first week of the German Soviet War, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
On June 22, 1941 the German Wehrmacht attacked the Brest fortress with no warning. The attack started with an artillery barrage. The defenders were taken by surprise and initially failed to form a solid front. By 09:00 that day, the fortress was completely surrounded. The ensuing battle of Brest Fortress lasted for 32 days, during which lives lost about 2000 soldiers and officers defending the castle, and attackers losing nearly 430 soldiers and officers.
The last defended object in the fortress was taken by June 29. About 6,800 Soviet soldiers and commanders were captured. According to Soviet sources, the battle lasted until 20 July, with no one surrendering to the Germans. This narrative became a testament to the resilience and courage of Red Army and Soviet people. A few Soviet soldiers did indeed hold out inside pockets of the fortress until as late as 23 July.
In the late 1960s, the construction of the war memorial complex “Brest Hero Fortress” was started. The complex was opened on September 25, 1971. The memorial complex is a national place of grief and pride, a popular tourist attraction.
This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on January 30, 2004.

Matchbox labels made in the Soviet Union made in 1957. The text on the labels reads:”6th Festival”.
The 6th World Festival of Youth and Students was held from 28 July to 5 August 1957 in Moscow, capital city of the then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The festival attracted 34.000 people from 130 countries. This became possible after the political changes initiated by Nikita Khrushchev. It was the first World Festival of Youth and Students held in the Soviet Union.
A minor international incident was provoked around the attendance of left-wing Iraqi writer Ga’ib Tu’ma Farman at the festival. The Iraqi government revoked Farman’s citizenship while he was abroad, effectively stranding him in Moscow as a stateless person. This situation was resolved by the intervention of the Chinese delegation who agreed to officially invite Farman to Beijing. He went on to work for Foreign Languages Press.

Matchbox labels made in the Soviet Union made in 1957. The text on the labels reads:”6th Festival”.
The 6th World Festival of Youth and Students was held from 28 July to 5 August 1957 in Moscow, capital city of the then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The festival attracted 34.000 people from 130 countries. This became possible after the political changes initiated by Nikita Khrushchev. It was the first World Festival of Youth and Students held in the Soviet Union.
A minor international incident was provoked around the attendance of left-wing Iraqi writer Ga’ib Tu’ma Farman at the festival. The Iraqi government revoked Farman’s citizenship while he was abroad, effectively stranding him in Moscow as a stateless person. This situation was resolved by the intervention of the Chinese delegation who agreed to officially invite Farman to Beijing. He went on to work for Foreign Languages Press.

Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol (1809-1852) was a Russian novelist, short story writer and playwright of Ukrainian origin.
Gogol was one of the first to use the techniques of surrealism and the grotesque in his works. According to Viktor Shklovsky, Gogol’s strange style of writing resembles the “ostranenie” technique. His early works, such as Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka, were influenced by his Ukrainian upbringing, Ukrainian culture and folklore. His later writing satirised political corruption in the Russian Empire.

The Second Five-Year was during 1956-1960. During that period, investment continued at a high rate, although real wages and the supply of consumer goods also increased substantially, and national income grew by 6.9%. In the late 1950s, however, economic leaders noted that investment efforts were yielding diminishing returns. Large investments were required to sustain economic growth.
In 1958 and 1959, in response to this troubling situation, the government made several relatively minor adjustments in the functioning of organizations and prices, the first of the country’s economic reforms. The reforms involved some limited decentralization of authority, most notably giving enterprises more autonomy in handling investment funds. The intention was not to alter the Soviet economic model to any great extent but rather to enhance its overall operation. The reforms did not result in noticeable improvements in economic performance, however. Eventually, in 1962, planners quietly scrapped the entire reform program, reimposing most of the central controls.
