Ukrainian Philatelic Resources is proud to announce the release of its first full-color publication, the long-awaited record of Dr. Ingert Kuzych’s diamond award-winning exhibit LEMBERG: Cosmopolitan Crownland Capital of the Austrian Empire.
This volume, however, is much more than just a reproduction of Dr. Kuzych’s display – which is a chronicle of the postal history of Lviv/Lwow during the century and a half that it was under Austrian Habsburg rule (1772-1918). Introductory chapters present information on how the exhibit came to be assembled and on the evolution of the postal system in Central Europe in the three centuries prior to the Austrian period. (The latter chapter is an expansion of the “Before Lemberg” articles that appeared in Austria No. 182, Polonus Nos. 550-52, and Ukrainian Philatelist No. 109.)

The recent discovery of some out-of-print back issues of Ukrainian Philatelist has enabled the virtual reconstruction of a 25-year run (1986-2010) of the journal (nos. 49-104). (Only two issues from the late 1990s (nos. 79 and 81) are missing.) That’s 54 issues plus several supplements, which accounts for over 70% of all the pages in Ukrainian Philatelist during its first six decades (1951-2010)! (Many of the early issues of Ukrainian Philatelist from 1951 to 1985 were very slim and generally written in Ukrainian.)
This is a tremendous opportunity for a Ukrainian philatelic researcher.
The price for this set is only $150us (that’s less than $3/issue) plus $25 shipping to a US destination (arrangements can be made to ship abroad, but postage would be considerably higher). Only one set is available on a first come, first served basis.

An article in the Journal "Museums of Ukraine" appeared February 9th this year bringing into question the legality of a Moscow auction featuring rare Kyivan Rus' sribnyk coins and hryvnia bars. Coins were minted in Rus from the first half of the 11th century on into the 1st quarter of the next century. During the reign of Grand Prince Volodymyr the Great (Old East Slavic: Володимѣръ Свѧтославичь, Old Norse: Valdamarr Sveinaldsson) gold and silver coins were minted, modeled on contemporary Byzantine currency of that time.
