The legendary postage stamp "Postman Fedir Feketa" won silver in the PostEurop competition for the best stamp of Europe 2020 - the jury's choice
The Ukrainian edition dedicated to Fyodor Feketi, a postman from Transcarpathia, who covered dozens of kilometers every day to deliver mail, was perfectly suited to the interesting and difficult topic "Ancient postal routes".
Fedir Feketa (1789 – 1838) worked as a postman and every day for 30 years delivered correspondence on foot at any time of the year in any weather. His path lay along mountain paths, where he had to cross mountain rivers
The Ukrainian postal stamp shared the honorable second place with two other participants - the stamps of the Faroe Islands and Switzerland, which became an unprecedented case in the entire history of the competition
