Stamps issued by the Crimean regional government (Крымское краевое правительство). The first Crimean Regional Government was established on 25 June 1918. It was formed under German protection with Lipka Tatar General Maciej (Suleyman) Sulkiewicz as prime minister, minister of interior and military affairs.

Following the evacuation of German troops from Crimea, Sulkiewicz fell from power on 25 November 1918 and was succeeded by Solomon Krym. This liberal, anti-Bolshevik regime included Maxim Vinaver as foreign minister and Vladimir D. Nabokov as minister of justice. In late November 1918, ships of the Allies of World War I landed in Crimea but they withdrew by early 1919. The Krym government began to crumble in early 1919 due to tensions with the Russian White movement's Volunteer Army under Anton Denikin which suspected the loyalty of its main figures.

On 2 April 1919, the Soviet Red Army occupied Simferopol and the second Crimean Regional Government was dissolved.
