Post of Crimea and other countries

Can anybody tell me something about some stamps of new Russian Republics (I
think).
I do not know them and like to have more informations and about the value.
Please inform me as you can.

Thanks for your help and regards,

Well, Jos,
in 1991/2 there was a shortage of real stamps in all the Former-USSR countries
and so there were many provisionals, especially in Ukraine - similar to the 1920s.

Some of these were overprints on USSR stamps, some were photocopies, some were
rubber-stamped onto white or brown gummed paper.

Some people produced 'stamps' in designs like these, and *some* were sent
through the post. But as it was easy to get letters sent through the post, or
at least postmarked and handed back, or sent in bulk to Latvia, Belarus etc, it
is difficult to know which ones are genuine and which ones are not.

I have seen the fish, and the centre set in your picture, but not the Crimea
ones. (Though I have seen many others from Crimea). I do not think that any of
these was ever authorised for postal use by the appropriate ministry.
