Yeremenko played a crucial role in several significant battles including the defense of Stalingrad and the liberation of Eastern Europe from Nazi occupation. As a commander of the Red Army his strategic leadership contributed to major victories on the Eastern Front. Czechoslovakia decision to commemorate him in a stamp reflected the close historical and political ties between the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia during the Cold War era.
