Russian Federation bogus issues

Since the early 1990s, bogus stamps for various Russian republics, oblasts and regions have appeared. Except for those states that declared independence when the Soviet Union ended in 1991, the entities involved have previously used and still use Russian stamps only. Even then, some of those independent countries have been plagued by fake or illegal stamps, too.

Earliest "issues" were overprints on obsolete Russian definitives or multiples, including a topical subject. Since then, topicals only have appeared in sheetlets and souvenir sheets, often with incomprehensible "denominations" without a currency symbol.

 * Adjaria
