Description

According to a Usenet posting by Ann Mette Heindorff,

In 1926 the USSR issued 4 semi-postals in 2 designs (Sc. B48-B51). At the time the 20 Kopeck blue stamp was originally designed showing "Trotsky as a Child" (similar to the issued Lenin stamp). It was supposed to be a part of this set, but the stamp designer has used a photo of Trotsky's son, not Trotsky himself. Three months after the stamps' issuance Trotsky was expelled from the USSR by Stalin, and the stamp with "Lenin as a child" was substituted - a much safer choice!
