Regions of Russia


Voronezh region



Hi ! Today’s Post is related with my favourite theme, Tourism showing regions of Russia. A set of three beautiful stamps was issued by Russia on 17 January 2009 which picture three different regions of the country - Saratov Region Voronezh Region and Chelyabinsk Region. Here are the nice stamps and FDC. The cancellation on the FDC shows the map of the region shown on stamp. So this is a very good set and most appropriate for collectors of Bridge, Map and Tourism theme. Bridge and Map themes are quite popular with the collectors. This is all for this Morning !....Till next Post….Have a Nice Time !
