Švepeliai (Klaipėda) 1970

Here is a commemorative cover of the centennial of the birth of Lenin, sent from Klaipėda post office #11(11-asis paštas) located in Švepeliai, now part of Klaipėda municipality. Švepeliai was called Schweppelen in german and used to be one of the villages surrounding Memel. Unfortunately, Soviet cancellations do not contain the name of the municipal district, in this case, it just states the name of the post office Клайпеда 11/Klaipėda 11. The cover design is surprisingly nice, containing the image of the town of Ulyanovsk (now Simbirsk, Russia), the native town of Lenin near the Volga river.
