The bronze medal commemorates the 30th General Assembly of the Soviet Philatelic Federation, a milestone event held in 1987 in the picturesque town of Dilijan, Armenia. Known for its scenic beauty and referred to as the "Little Switzerland of Armenia," Dilijan provided an inspiring backdrop for philatelists from various republics of the Soviet Union. The assembly was a testament to the robust philatelic culture within the USSR, fostering a shared passion for stamp collecting and the study of postal history. This convergence of enthusiasts underscored the importance of philately as a means to preserve cultural heritage, celebrate historical events, and forge bonds across diverse communities during a transformative period in Soviet history.
