Kunashir Island

Kunashir Island, or Кунашир, is one of the Kuril Islands in the North Pacific and part of the Russian Federation. It is one of the southernmost islands of the chain. If Sarah Palin lived in north Hokkaido, she could see Russian Kunashir Island from her window.

So Kunashir is a real place, with people on it, unlike the bogus stamps created with the island's name. So far, we have found only one sheetlet issue inscribed КУНАШИР / ISLAND KUNASHIR. More than this is suspected. Obviously. An issue for each of the 56 individual island in the Kuril chain wouldn't be unexpected, either.
