The Philatelic Period after 1995

What happened after 1995 ?

A lot of so called 'private issues' has been printed and are available on various 'stamp' sites.
The term 'private issue' is just another way to say : 'illegal issues', 'fake issues' or simply 'cinderellas'.

Just to complete the article on Tuvan stamps, I'm posting this sheet with the most adorable Teletubbies, issued in 1998.
We see, in order of appearance :  Dipsy, Laa-la, Po and Tinky Winky.

Cinderella issue of Tuva 1998

Among those issues, famous persons, wildlife, scouting, WWF, ... and other popular themes can be found.

Russian Republics and more ... 01 A Siberian Federal District - Touva 2b

From 1944 on, after the second World War, the Tuvan People's Republic, became part of the Soviet Union, as an autonomous oblast.
In that period, Russian (Soviet Union) were used.

In 1992, when the Soviet Union became the Russian Federation, Tuva regained the status of Tuvan Republic and for a short time, they issued again their own stamps.

In 1995 the last official Tuvan stamp was issued.
Now, only the official Russian stamps are used in Tuva.
However ... Tuvan stamps can be found with a later date of issue ...
