An Afghan in Abakan




Hmmm…A stamp from “Hakasia”, presumably Khakassia, a republic in the vast Russian Federation. And then, maybe not, since both the Russian and Khakas languages use the Cyrillic alphabet. Yet, on this stamp, the Latin alphabet is used. 

He he, if you ask me, this stamp is as bogus as the king of Syldavia or the mayor of Duckburg. But pssst…I don't really mind, since I loved bogus stamps during my short “philatelist period” as a kid. 

Besides, I think Afghan hounds are pretty cool! So I will give this fake made in southern Serbia five stars!
