Armenia to Zemstvo: A Philately Blog

This Blog is now closed but you can still contact me at patemantrevor@gmail.com. Ukraine-related posts have been edited into the book by Trevor Pateman "Philatelic Case Studies from Ukraine's First Independence Period", edited by Glenn Stefanovics. It is available in the USA from amazon.com and in Europe from me. The Russia-related posts have been typeset for hard-copy publication but there are currently no plans to publish them.
