为纪念俄罗斯古典音乐的奠基人格林卡诞生200周年,俄罗斯于2004年5月20日发行了一套纪念邮票。这套票是以四方连的形式把3枚邮票印在一起:左上角的副票上印有“纪念作曲家米哈依尔·伊万诺维奇·格林卡诞辰200周年”,下面为作曲家的曲谱《光荣啊!》的手稿;第1枚票面为格林卡肖像,背景为作曲家的主要作品及谱写年代;第2枚为歌剧《为沙皇效忠》;第3枚是歌剧《鲁斯兰与柳德米拉》。这是继1957年2月23日为作曲家逝世100周年发行第1套纪念邮票(2枚)后,俄罗斯为格林卡发行的第2套专题邮票。两套邮票相比,不仅枚数、整体设计及表现形式等方面有所不同,而且第2套在阐述主题内容上更加丰富、更加全面。通过这套邮票就能对作曲家有一个大致的,较为全面的了解。 To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Glinka, the founder of Russian classical music, Russia issued a set of commemorative stamps on May 20, 2004.
