Czechoslovak Legion in Russia

Czechoslovakia · 1919 · 20 h

This stamp commemorates the Czechoslovak Legion's struggle in Siberia during World War I. The design features a legionnaire on guard duty in the snowy Siberian landscape, symbolizing their resilience and long journey home. It is part of a series honoring the legion's efforts to secure an independent Czechoslovak state.

Issued by the Czechoslovak Legion's postal service in Siberia before their return home, these stamps served a practical purpose and were a powerful symbol of their de facto government-in-exile during the Russian Civil War.
