Ukrainian SSR Aid to the Starving Series
Ukraine · 1923 · 10,000 to 1,000,000 Karbovanets
This series of postal-charity stamps features a stark design depicting a starving figure under a sun, with text 'Aid to the Starving' and 'Ukrainian SSR'. The stamps come in various high denominations.
Issued by the Ukrainian SSR in 1923, these stamps aimed to raise funds for the severe famine that gripped the region after the Russian Civil War, with their high face values reflecting the hyperinflation of the period.
