It is Taras Shevchenko on the stamp.
Taras Shevchenko — Ukraine's national poet, artist, and symbol of Ukrainian identity — has a deep and direct connection to the Cherkasy region. He was born (1814), raised, and laid to rest there (1861). His work idealizes the Ukrainian village, mourns the fate of the serfs, and praises the freedom-loving Cossack spirit — all heavily tied to Cherkasy. The region shaped his worldview, inspired his writing, and now serves as a living memorial to his creative legacy.
