This set of six stamps commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic. The designs feature various aspects of the republic's progress under Soviet rule, including the Latvian SSR coat of arms, industrial scenes with factories, agricultural imagery with tractors, and notable buildings like the Riga Opera House and the Academy of Sciences.

Issued in 1950, these stamps reflect the Soviet Union's narrative of progress and prosperity following the incorporation of Latvia in 1940. The imagery was intended to legitimize Soviet rule and celebrate a decade of supposed socialist achievement.
