Mikhail Goryn led an active anti-Soviet propaganda during the Soviet era, Nikolai Rudenko was the author of poetry and prose works, Svyatoslav Karavansky compiled dictionaries and translated texts.

The stamps contain images designed by Vasily Vasilenko. The circulation of each of them is 100 thousand copies. Cost - 9 UAH. (corresponds to the letter V in the upper-right corner). Employees of the Ukrainian Institute of national memory participated in the issue of stamps, which suggested creating this thematic series. The state holiday to which the stamps are dedicated, established in 2014, is considered the successor of another holiday – freedom Day.
