Postcards from Ukraine

I have received two beautiful postcards in envelope with fantastic stamps.


Cossacks are a group of predominantly East Slavic people who became known as members of autonomous, semi-military communities, predominantly located in Ukraine and in Russia. They inhabited sparsely populated areas and islands in the lower Dnieper, Don, Terek, and Ural river basins and played an important role in the historical and cultural development of both Russia and Ukraine.


On the back of the postcard is stamp: Painting "Zaporozhtsy writing letter to Turkish Sultan", in honor of The 170th Anniversary of the Birth of Ilya Yefimovich Repin, 1844-1930, issued on 2014-08-04, and also with same special postmark.


This is maxicard: For the honor! For the glory! For people!, issued on 2014-12-05.


Stamps on cover:
Farm Animals - Cows (two from set of four), issued on 2015-08-14
EUROPA Stamps - Old Toys (Goidalka & Vizok), issued on 2015-08-11
Bus - Definitive stamp, issued on 2006-09-28


Thank You very much Anastasia!
