Oparin Mikhail Ivanovich 076 |
Hello, dear friends – participants and organizers of the exhibition! My name is Mikhail Oparin, I am 76 years old. I live in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, a city in the Russian Far East. I have been collecting matchbox labels since childhood, for about 70 years. I mainly collect Soviet and Russian labels, as well as souvenir sets. Since 2022, I have been a member of the Moscow philumenistic club "Souvenir". I have repeatedly taken part in philumenistic exhibitions in cities of Russia.
This is the third time I am participating in the international exhibition. Since the theme is free this time, I would like to introduce visitors to the online exhibition to the largest river in the Russian Far East – the Amur, on the banks of which I was born and live to this day. I decided to talk about the main wealth of the Amur River – fish. I took as a basis the series "Fish of the Amur River" of 12 matchbox labels. Matches with these labels were manufactured in 1960 at the Iskra plant in the city of Blagoveshchensk, which is also located on the banks of the Amur.
I wish success to all participants of the Internet exhibition, many thanks to its organizers.
