Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Ukraine 1918-1923, Kyiv type III black trident overprint on 1 roubel Russian Imperial stamp, mint. Overprint produced by lithography, by a printing stone with a seven by eight format. Exists in one type only.[1] Signed Seichter.

Initially independent Ukraine allowed postage stamps of czarist Russia to be postally used. On 20 August 1918, the Ukrainian Postal Ministry ordered all postage stamps, used on Ukrainian territory, to be overprinted with the national emblem the trident. After 1 October 1918, Russian stamps became invalid without this overprint.

Ukraine had six postal districts: Kiev, Poltava, Katerynoslav (now Dnipropetrovsk), Kharkiv, Odessa, and Podillia. Each district utilized a number of distinct overprinting devices. Trident-overprinted provisionals thus varied in size, color, and form. About seventy-five basic overprints with at least fifty variants are identified, including local ones. The total number of different types of overprints is estimated to exceed 1,500.

Provisional trident-overprinted stamps remained in use for some time after the fall of the Ukrainian government. The latest authenticated date of usage is on an Odesa postal card from Pryvilne to Kharkiv dated 8 February 1926.

Many counterfeit overprints exist.

Public domain
This file is a Ukrainian or Ukrainian SSR work and it is presently in the public domain in Ukraine, because it was published before January 1, 1954, and the creator (if known) died before that date (details).
A Ukrainian or Ukrainian SSR work that is in the public domain in Ukraine according to this rule is in the public domain in the U.S. only if it was in the public domain in Ukraine before January 1, 1996, e.g. if it was published before January 1, 1946 and the creator died before this date, and no copyright was registered in the U.S. (This is the combined effect of the retroactive [1], Ukraine's joining the Berne Convention in 1996, and of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.)
