The postage stamp “Kalush Orchestra” was issued on 10 April 2023. The new postage stamp issue is dedicated to the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

The postage stamp shows the frontman of the Ukrainian band Oleh Psiuk wearing an early-20th-century Bukovyna “keptar” vest and a recognizable pink Panama hat. By the way, the pink panama was sold at the auction for UAH 11 million (about USD 300 thousand), and the glass microphone (the song contest prize), for USD 900 thousand. The collected funds were directed to supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

An interesting fact! In the contest final, after performing the "Stefania" song, Oleh Psiuk shouted "Help Mariupol! Help Azovstal right now!”. This call rang out like thunder and once again reminded the world community about Ukraine's present. And it was perceived as a humanitarian one, because it was about people's lives.
