Republic of Kalmykia

Republic of Kalmykia - Regional issue stamp

Kalmykia, a republic in southwestern Russia, is known for its unique cultural heritage, being the only region in Europe where Buddhism is the predominant religion. 

Its postage stamps often reflect its rich cultural and historical identity, featuring themes such as traditional Kalmyk art, prominent historical figures, and Buddhist motifs. These stamps serve not only as functional postage stamps but also as a means to celebrate and promote the region's distinct cultural legacy.

Below Kalmykia flower stamps are part CTO set, issued in 1997.
