Item Description

Scarce 1919 Russia Charity Poster Stamp Kazan Red Army Gift Day August 31, 1919 Unused No Gum. Kazan is a city in southwest Russia, on the banks of the Volga and Kazanka rivers. The capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, a semi-autonomous region, it's known for the centuries-old Kazan Kremlin, a fortified citadel containing museums and sacred sites. Kremlin landmarks include the tiered Tower of Soyembika, the blue-and-gold domed Annunciation Cathedral and the vast, colorful Kul Sharif Mosque. On August 31, 1919, White Russian forces captured Kyiv during the Russian Civil War. The Ukrainian Galician troops of Myron Tarnavsky briefly entered Kyiv earlier that day, but were forced to hand the city over to the Whites. The conflict between the Ukrainian nationalists and the Whites allowed the Bolsheviks to transfer some of their forces to right-bank Ukraine. ― Google
