Kalmykia

Kalmykia or Калмыкия is a Russian Republic in the Caucasus region on the Caspian Sea. It has been part of the Soviet Union and remains a part of Russia today, using Russian stamps only.

Bogus issues began appearing in the early 1990s as overprints on old Soviet stamps. By the mid-1990s, bogus sheetlets and souvenir sheets in popular topics were released, inscribed KALMYKIA, REPUBLIC KALMYKIA, КАЛМЫКИЯ, РЕСПУБЛИКА КАЛМЫКИЯ and inscribed bilingually. This recently was changed to ХАЛМЬИГ ТАҢҺЧ.  File:Kalmykia arnold.jpg|from the bogus movie stars sheetlet. File:Kalmykia butterfly.jpg|from the butterfly sheetlet.
