How to tell the history of Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan without opening a textbook? Postage stamps are not just a means of sending letters. They are miniature documents of eras, compressed with cultural codes, political events, and historical crossroads. Philatelist and historian Vladimir Nelepina will talk about Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine - countries with complex destinies, where history intertwines with myths, religions, and the struggle for identity. Each postage stamp here becomes a confirmation of what has happened, a frozen fact, behind which are political decisions, cultural milestones, dreams, and tragedies of entire nations. The collection that Nelepina presents is not just a gathering of artifacts. It is the personal archive of the researcher, in which the stamps are selected with love and knowledge of the context. Where to go in St. Petersburg can be found on our website.
