Makhnovshchina Provisional Stamp Mock-up

Ukraine · 1919 · 50 коп.

The stamp features a central star with a stylized Ukrainian trident, surrounded by Cyrillic text 'УКРАИНСКАЯ РЕСПУБЛИКА' and 'МАХНОВЩИНА', with '50 коп.' denomination at the bottom. The design is simple, with a decorative border.

This is an inauthentic mock-up representing the Makhnovshchina, an anarchist territory in Ukraine during the Russian Civil War (1917-1922). It reflects the turbulent period of competing political entities and the desire for independent postal services.
