Belarus 2021 stamps – Belpochta 2021

Belarus 2021 stamps – Belpochta 2021

Belarus 2021 stamps have been announced. Although no images were released, the subjects and issue dates are known. The list below is currently in English only because the news release, I have is in English. The Belarus website is excellent and is a treasure trove of information for stamp collectors. Information is easy to find and a pleasure to use. Wish more post offices followed their lead. Belarus post also has a link to convert pages to a “visual” version which converts pages to plain, easy to read text with no images. This would be great for people using page readers.

Subjects for Belarus 2021 Stamps include:

  • Детская филателия | Children & philately |Зверята | Wild baby animals
  • Народные писатели Беларуси. Кондрат Крапива, Иван Шамякин, Иван Мележ | Belarusian folk writers. Kandrat Krapiva, Ivan Shamiakin, Ivan Melezh
  • Восточный календарь. Год Быка | Year of the Ox, Lunar New Year
  • Птица года. Козодой обыкновенный | Bird of the year. European nightjar
  • 30-летие образования РСС | 30th anniversary of the RCC
  • Красная книга Республики Беларусь. Грызуны | Red Book of the Republic of Belarus. Rodents
  • Выпуск по программе «EUROPA». Исчезающие виды национальной дикой природы | EUROPA. Endangered national wildlife
  •  Достижения белорусской медицины | Achievements of Belarusian medicine
  • Соколы Беларуси | Falcons of Belarus
  • С Новым годом и Рождеством Христовым! | Happy New Year! Merry Christmas!
  • 150 лет железнодорожной магистрали Смоленск-Минск-Брест |150 years of Smolensk-Minsk-Brest railway

I’m also hoping to find a little info on designers. If you have leads, drop me a line. All images courtesy Belarus Post. If you collect Belarus stamps, I’d highly recommend downloading the information sheets the post office issues with each stamp. 

I’ve highlighted the English titles to make it easier to navigate for most of my readers.

  • Aquatic warbler 
  • European Hamster

Aquatic warbler is a migratory species. It inhabits only open sedge lowland swamps. The aquatic warbler builds nest in Belarus, Hungary, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. The canter of the modern area is the Polesian lowland. It appears in late April or early May and flies away in August. 
European hamster is a large rodent with a beautiful variegated color. The rodent has been assigned the highest conservation status for wild populations. This is the status of critically endangered species.
A few decades ago, the European hamster was so widespread that it was considered a dangerous pest of agriculture and was subject to destruction. This led to a sharp decline in its numbers. Belarus Newsletter #10, April 27, 2021
