A sheet of 8 “Cossack Mamai” stamps 2026

The stamp sheet of 8 stamps depicting the artwork "Cossack Mamai" from the private collection of Yuriy Kotyk's family reveals the multifaceted nature of one of the most mysterious images of Ukrainian culture. The idea of the stoic imperturbability of the Cossack, his indifference to the machinations of enemies, dangers and threats, to all kinds of evil forces, as well as the image of a character and a magician who is subject to supernatural forces - this is only part of the truth about him.

His calmness is balanced, unwavering and bright. He is free from fear, anxiety, everything petty and insignificant - and this is another dimension of this iconic image. He is not just resting - he is in a state of inner balance in his own, acquired, ordered and protected territory of freedom.

The issue was released as part of the project "Vlasna marka"
