This cover from Russia features a minisheet issued in 2022 celebrating the "875th Anniversary of the city of Moscow". Inextricably linked to all the most important historical and political events in Russia since the 13th century, the Kremlin (built between the 14th and 17th centuries by outstanding Russian and foreign architects) was the residence of the Great Prince and also a religious centre. At the foot of its ramparts, on Red Square, St Basil's Basilica is one of the most beautiful Russian Orthodox monuments. The site is inscribed at UNESCO's World Heritage list since 1990 with the name Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow
