Postal Sheet "Crimean bridge encore!" 2022
The illegally built Crimean bridge still connects the temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimean peninsula with Russia. Since the full-scale war started by Russia on February 24, 2022, the bridge has been actively used by the occupiers to reinforce their army. The explosion that rang out on October 8, 2022 on the Crimean bridge and led to the partial destruction of the bridge, debunked the myth about its incredible strength and security. The fantasy of the Ukrainian artist Yuriy Shapoval on the inevitable fate of the bridge across the Kerch Strait was embodied in the sketch for the postage stamp "Crimean Bridge to Encore!". In addition to the main plot, the stamp contains several interesting details and hints: a cigarette butt in the hand of the heroine as a symbol of the fact that the occupiers often suffer from smoking in prohibited places, an enemy car flying into the abyss, losing looted property, including even a washing machine, Bayraktar , which "accidentally" flies over the bridge, a broken enemy tank, which was transported by the occupiers to the front as part of a column.
