Eastern Siberia

Eastern Siberia, or Восточная Сибирь, is defined as the part of Siberia east of the Yenesey River, everyone's favorite vacation spot. Exactly what the fakers/counterfeiters meant by putting that on their bogus issues is a puzzle. After all, they had many thousands of islands to put names to their bogus creations. It is most certainly not the town of Восточная Нива which is not in Siberia and would not have showed up in the faker's Soviet-era geography books.

It does not and never issued its own stamps. Possibly in the early 1990s, old Soviet stamps were surcharged with ВОСТОЧНАЯ СИБИРЬ with topically-related images. The editors have confirmed only one issue so far that appears to have been done on a high-quality laser printer and therefore dating from a later time. Thankfully, no topical sheetlets of Madonna and dinosaurs have appeared since. But you never know.  File:Vostochnaya Siber shroom.jpg
