Elektrėnai 1992

with the inscription: Литовская ГРЭС / Litovskaya GRES

Today I'm posting another Soviet cover, this time with a meter franking of Elektrėnai sent in 1992 to Vilnius. This meter stamp was used by the company Lietuvos VRE (valstybinė rajoninė elektrinė) used to be known as Литовская ГРЭС / Litovskaya GRES (Государственная Районная ЭлектроСтанция) during the Soviet time. The term ГРЭС/GRES is commonly used in Russian, it signifies thermal power station. The town of Электренай/Elektrėnai was newly created in 1961 between Vilnius and Kaunas as a site of a massive thermal power station as you can imagine from the it's name. You can even see it on the illustration on the cover itself. Over 90% of the population of the town was working somewhere related to the power station.
The cover was sent in 1992 which is after the restoration of independence of Lithuania in 1991 but the language of the meter stamp is still in Russian. This is because part of the key infrastructures was still under Russian control until 1993 when the Russian troops left the country.
