Legacy

On September 30, 2011, the Ukrainian state postal company Ukrposhta circulated artistic postage stamps printed with a hook from two stamps to immortalize the first film opera in Ukrainian art: "75 years. Film-opera "Natalka Poltavka" (No. 1132, No. 1133), an envelope "The First Day," and a special redemption stamp. The artist for the stamps was Larisa Melnyk.[4] The materials for creating stamps were provided by the State Museum of Theater, Music and Film Arts of Ukraine. One of the postage stamps depicts the main character of the film, Natalka, played by actress Kateryna Osmyalovska. The second shows the key scene of the film, where the mother blesses Natalka and Peter for a life together.
