The Republic of Bashkortostan lies in the South Ural Mountains
bordering with Tatarstan and the Udmurt Republic.
In 1921 Bashkortostan was forced to become an official Autonomous
Soviet Republic as a part of the Russian Federation. By 1937 Bashkortostan
accepted the constitution of the USSR, in which the republic was
declared a state. This status was a formality due to the absence of
sovereign rights. In 1990, upon the collapse of the Soviet Union,
Bashkortostan declared its state sovereignty. Its capital city is Ufa and
the economy depends on agriculture, stockbreeding and some industry.

Dagestan is one of the republics of the former USSR. Located between the Caspian
Sea on the East and Caucasus mountains on the West, it is probably one of the
most attractive places in that part of the globe. Its area is close to that
of Scotland. With population of just above 2 million people, Dagestan is
the homeland to over 36 different nationalities, and each one of those
nationalities has its own unique language. Such combination of languages,
cultures, types of landscape and customs makes it a one of a kind place
in the world. These days, however, Dagestan is going through the times
of heavy unrest, both political and ethnical.

Karjala and Karelia are one and the same country. It is an autonomous
republic within Russia with 800,00 inhabitants, only 11.1% are Karelian.
Russians are the vast majority. About 90,00 people speak Karelian (Uralic
language close to Finnish) out of an ethnic group out of 145,00 in Russia.
The Republic of Karelia is a remarkably beautiful land of white nights,
boundless forests, and blue lakes. It is located on the border of Western
and Eastern Europe, on the border of cultures and religions. Severe beauty of
its nature, the climate, not too favourable in these latitudes, the
coexistence and intermingling of various peoples inhabiting this land for centuries
all that conditioned the character of the people living here: very laconic,
self-assured, contemplative, and tolerant people. It also accounts
for the fact that there is no national strife and terrorism in this land.

Touva (often spelled Tuva) is a country in the southern area of Siberia. It's a
unique place with the landscapes ranging from the desert to the permafrost, and
local fauna-from camels to reindeers. Touva is known as almost the only place in
the world where shamanism, a very ancient religion, is preserved, kept and
cultivated in its original form.
The republic of Touva lies at the upper reaches of the Siberian Yenisey River and forms
a barrier between Russia and Mongolia. Since its independence from the former Soviet
Union, Tuva continues to struggle to work on the appropriate way to safeguard and
develop its own identity and sovereignty going through the difficult changes
from a command-orientated planned economy towards an open market economy. Like so
many other former Russian states, the diversity of the people is starting to be
felt as the original culture, traditions and religion are gaining more followers.

Udmurtia is approximately midway between Moscow to the Urals. Its land is a hilly
wooden plain with numerous swamps, springs and rivers. Its climate is
considered a bit too wet
and not healthy. Summer is short, rainy and cool; autumn is very cloudy (often
there are almost no sunny days from October till January), foggy and rainy. This
not very friendly land was originally inhabited by Udmurts (or Votyaks). These
peaceful and quiet Finnish people maintained their culture heritage there at
least for five thousand years. Their religion is also ancient. They worship the
God (called Inmar, The Highest Being) and His assistants governing various
elements. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Udmurtia became one of the
local republics and as such they now issue stamps including this lovely

* We can take visa, mastercard, discover, or PayPal. We try to keep
all stamps in stock, so we probably have the ones that you are looking
for.
* Truly one of the cheapest unique treats for yourself or a friend (great for
club trophies as well!)
* I do have other breeds available. Let me know and perhaps I can do a page for
your breed.
* It is absolutely true that you will often find some of these stamps at very
reasonable prices -- some can be had for under a dollar. On the other hand, if
you add in the gas, hours, and hassles that it has taken to find them, you may
find it easier to just get them from us while we have them :*) I don't always
count on getting more in the near future. I get them when I can find them and
the stock is not always constant.
