Birobidzhan

Birobidzhan, or Биробиджан, is the capital of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in the Russian Federation. Fakers/countefeiters created the Birobidzhan Republic, something that doesn't exist.

While Birobidzhan is real, it does not and never issued its own stamps in recent times; the stamps supposedly being issued by it are bogus. Beginning in the early 1990s, old Soviet stamps were surcharged with E.A.O. БИРОБИДЖАН or РЕСПУБЛИКА БИРОБИДЖАН including various topical images. Nothing has appeared since except for issues by the so-called Jewish Republic. See: Jewish Republic.  File:Jewish Rep magen david.jpg File:Birobidzhan horse.jpg
