Tatarstan

Tatarstan is a Russian republic in Eastern Europe of the Volga River. While Tatarstan is real, there are bogus stamps that claim to originate from there; Tatarstan does not issue its own stamps. Beginning in the early 1990s, fake Tatarstan surcharges were made on old Soviet stamps. Later on, many topical subjects appeared in sheetlets inscribed TATARSTAN or bilingually with ТАТАРСТАТ.
