set up the People's Republic with Count Karolyi as Provisional
President. This lasted from the fall of 1918 until March
of 1919 when the Soviet Republic, under Bela Kun, came
into being. During this period these so called "Republic"
stamps were issued and used.Many are known to exist with
an inverted overprint.
