Issued by the short-lived Belarusian People's Republic in 1921, these stamps were likely provisional or semi-postal issues for the Belarusian Red Cross, reflecting the nation's struggle for independence after WWI. They were printed in Kaunas, Lithuania, indicating the provisional nature and external support for the nascent state.
