Kolchak Provisional Government Stamp

Russia · 1919 · 10 Rubles

The stamp features a bust portrait of Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak in military uniform, framed by text proclaiming him 'Supreme leader of Russia' and calling for 'United Russia.' The denomination of 10 Rubles is displayed at the bottom.

This stamp was issued during the Russian Civil War by the anti-Bolshevik White movement under Admiral Kolchak, who declared himself Supreme Ruler of Russia. It served as both a postal franking and a propaganda tool for his provisional government.
