Scott B51a/Michel 314
What's the story on the unissued variant of the indigent children's issue of 1926--does this portray Trotsky as a child and was not issued
when he fell from favor, or is there a more prosaic explanation?

Rossica 137
An article from Mil'ken, translated by Dave Skipton for Journal 137 ("Child Welfare Set of 1926" .
The article states that one stamp shows a 20k portrait of Lenin as a 4 year old. Another stamp shows what was supposed to be a generalized picture of
Soviet youth, but in fact showed the son of one of the Children's Commission managers. Trotsky was not a subject of any of the stamps.
If you don't have it yet, you can order Journal 137 from me.
