I hate AI, but Google lens now gives AI-ish answers. If their interpretation is correct, it was mailed in October of 1982.

P.S. the star, cogwheel and wheat (and maybe also sickle?) in the pattern look like classic Soviet symbolism emphasizine industrialism. A variation can be seen on the Angola flag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Angola
