While it is real, it does not and never issued its own stamps; the stamps supposedly being issued by it under the "Jewish Republic" name are not genuine. Beginning in the early 1990s, old Soviet stamps were surcharged with EВEЙСКАЯ РЕСПУБЛИКА or Еврейская рескпублика. Various topical sheetlets, etc. followed, inscribed EВEЙСКАЯ РЕСПУБЛИКА, JEWISH REPUBLIC, E.A.O. JEWISH REPUBLIC or bilingual inscriptions including some using "JEVISH REPUBLIC".
