Bulgarian female doll in a traditional costume

Present of the delegation of the Progressive Party of the Working People of Cyprus (AKΣL) to the Tsaritsyn - Stalingrad Museum of Defense. The plate is decorated with a schematic map of Cyprus and the ‘Cyprus – the island of Aphrodite’ wording written in English; the rim of the plate is covered with six images of the sights of the island; on the base of the plate there is a manufacture’s mark: three crowns inside a Laurel wreath. The plate can be hung on a wall.

At the top of the brass plate there is the coat of arms of the commune of Olevano Romano, below it there is a black wording in Italian that reads: “in occasione della visita delle autorità di VOLGOGRAD / L'amministrazione Comunale di / Olevano Romano / a ricordo della BATTAGLIA DI STALINGRADO / 17-07-1942 – 02-02-1943 / “Fame e macerie sotto i mortai / come l'acciaio resiste la città / strade di stalingrado di sangue siete lastricate / ride una donna di granito su mille barricade”. The greetings card is put under glass in a black and golden ‘under an old tree’ plastic frame.

“I will never forget my visit to this Great city, where life finds its way between the ruins left by the war and the hope for a better tomorrow is felt in the air. Long live Stalingrad, long live the friendship and mutual understanding between our two countries”. USSR, Stalingrad
