(The former USSR has recognized officially the independent state of Lithuania in September 1991, so that Lithuania was at the time of the issue of this PSE as Lithuanian SSR still a part of the then Soviet Union. Nevertheless was issued this PSE with inscription in Lithuanian language a quasi-recognition of a independent Lithuania (else would not been imprinted the Lithuanian language). But the stamps and postal stationary products of the former USSR remained postal valid for an transitional period until to the 31. Dezember 1991 officially, but inofficially also beyond because of lack of paper and corresponding postal products (after the events in 1991 (Lazdijai)). So, the present envelope was therefore postal valid until to the introduction of a new currency in 1992.)
