Novosibirsk

Novosibirsk, or Новосибирск, is a Russian oblast in southwest Siberia. It has used and still uses Russian stamps.

Beginning in the early 1990s, old Soviet stamps were seen with bogus Новосибирск, Нобая Схбuръ (sic) surcharges including a topical-type image. Various topical sheetlets, etc. followed, inscribed NOVOSIBIRSK ISLAND (huh?), НОВОСИБРСКИЕ ОСТРОВА (huh?), etc. As far as we can determine, Novosibirsk is not an island.
