I think I see a 'Karb' underneath the two sets of figures of value

Not paying attention once again, I'm afraid. I stand chastised.

Bravo!
allegory of Ukraine, distributing bread.
Have been some additions since my 1990 SG
It was then G15

Here is my poor shot at translating Rod's stamp.

16-07-1948 *Ukrainian
National *(Rada) ????
20 Post 20

Kiev *(Trudovin) ???? *Congress

However, It lacks the CCCP of stamps
of the USSR and no currency unit is
mentioned (eg kopecks or karbovanets).

The big fat Russian dictionary in the library says "Rada" is the name
for the Popular Assembly (presumably parliament) in the Ukraine and
some other republics. Also, Trydovii = Labour, so "Kiev . Labour
Congress". A bit of Googling reveals that The Labour Congress is/was
the name of a political party, but I didn't get as far as working out
whether the stamp refers to this, to a specific meeting in 1948, or a
building (Party HQ?). There is obviously a bigger story here than I'm
likely to have time to uncover.

Looks like the "Central Rada"
here it is in 1918

RADA means "Council", so the inscription at top is
"Ukrainian National Council". The building is the
Kyiv Opera House.
