Europe 2022. Stories and myths

On April 29, 2022, the Moldavian Post issued 2 stamps on the theme "Stories and Myths" as part of the traditional "Europe" series. The subjects for the stamps were the medieval "Legend of the founding of Moldova" and the Moldavian folk tale "The Poor Man and the Dragons".

There are several versions of the legend about the founding of Moldova. According to one of them, the Wallachian voivode Dragoş from Maramureš, a land located just south of present-day Transcarpathia, went hunting with his warriors.
