Since the theater of war in Ukraine has the eyes of millions of experts, diplomats, politicians and ordinary people from all over the world, and not all of them understand the sacred significance of the Crimean bridge for Russia and the importance of its damage for the course of the Ukrainian-Russian war, it was decided for a postage stamp sketch use a scene from a famous movie. Just as the myth of the unsinkability of the steamship spread, so Russia built the myth that the Crimean bridge is a symbol of the eternal connection of the Ukrainian Crimea with Russia.

In addition to the main plot, the stamp contains several interesting details and hints: a cigarette butt in the hands of the heroine, as evidence that recently the occupiers suffer a lot from smoking in prohibited places, the passenger car of the occupiers, which went into the abyss, losing looted washing machines and other goods , a Bayraktar that "accidentally" flew over the bridge and a broken enemy tank, which was transported by the occupiers to the front as part of a convoy.
