Pomgol Famine Relief Cinderella Stamp

Russia · 1921 · 10000 Rubles

This stamp depicts a gaunt, emaciated figure against a dark background, with the denomination '10000 Rubles' and 'ПОМГОЛ' (POMGOL) text. It symbolizes the severe famine in Russia.

This is a known Cinderella stamp, not an official postal issue, created around 1921 in the context of the devastating Russian famine and the Pomgol committee. It was likely produced for propaganda or speculative purposes by Marco Fontana or a later falsifier.
