Vinnytsia

Vinnytsia, or Вінниця (Ukrainian), is a city in central Ukraine. The Vinnytsia oblast is the surrounding region/province.

There might have been local trident control overprints issued in Vinnytsia during Ukraine's first independence period c. 1918. The city uses Ukrainian stamps today as any other city there and has done so since Ukraine's second declaration of independence in 1991. However, beginning in the early 1990s, ambitious printers outside of Ukraine or Russia (aka "the usual suspects") decided to create bogus surcharges on old Soviet stamps including using the trident emblem, sometimes with topical subjects shown. No topical sheetlets or souvenir sheets have turned up to date, but just you wait.

Stamps are variously surcharged Вінниця with and without Пошта України, Вінницька область or with only a trident.  File:Ukraine Vinnytsia bogus blk.jpg File:Odesa butterfly bogus.jpg File:Ukraine Vinnytsia 1.50r bogus.jpg
