The St. Sophia cathedral in Polotsk is the most ancient Christian shrine in Belarus. It was built in the 11th century as a symbol of equality with Constantinople and rivalry with Kiev and Novgorod having the same cathedrals. Now the cathedral has an organ concert hall and a museum of architectural history of the St. Sophia cathedral exposing the fragments of masonry of the 11th century, the ancient foundation and frescoes of the late 11th century. The St. Sophia cathedral in Polotsk is among the candidates for inclusion into the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Monument church is dedicated to All Saints and the memory of our compatriots who unjustly perished. It is the main spiritual national monument to the citizens of Belarus and Belarusians that left our country because of revolutions, wars and repressions. The first stone into the foundation of the Monument church was put by His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II. The construction began in summer 2006 and is almost finished now. The buildings of the Monument church were made of monolithic concrete. They have unusual architectural and constructive design.

Today on website "UkraFil" in one of comments to news in russian version it was the message of the St. Petersburg little dealer which has amazed with the impudence and cynicism: "We like to earn adequately and we are able to do it". Not very well who possesses authorship of this statement, doomed to become winged. The main thing that it personifies spirit and consciousness of a Post-Soviet epoch and visually reflects the main idea of modern Russian philately.
Exactly 5 years ago the Russia post 2007 - developing attack before general approach in the form of rare post editions "Inauguration", "Football", "Gagarin" and that are expected in May of this year

On February, 7th - the postage issue devoted to the 200 anniversary of establishment of military Award George The winner. Stamps with various perforations 12 and 13½ from the date of exit were in free sale and were accessible for all comers.

On March, 2nd - "O. Kiprensky's Painting". About various perforations: 13½ and 12 mm. in value "Poor Lisa" became known after approximately 2 months after its exit in circulation. The "rare" perforation 12 also it was quite accessible to collectors.

The second stamp with "Self-portrait" - about existence various perforations it became known from "word of mouth". Rare is perforation 13½. The Russia post even a hint didn't inform on different types of punching. "The persons approached to the emperor", following rule "We like to earn adequately and we are able to do it" privately "advanced" a curiosity for very high compensation. The material about this issue under the name "Russian roulette" is published on website "UkraFil" in news from February, 14th, 2011.

In December, 2011 at several Russian philatelic forums there was a message of one collector from Zelenograd city (Moscow region) that in one of local post offices in a window on reception of registered mail he has casually found out some copies of stamp "Shishkin's Self-portrait" (Shishkin in russian translate is “Bump”) with perforation 13½. Whereas ITC "Stamps" informed only about issue with perforation 12.
5 years were passing from the moment of an exit "I. Shishkin's Painting" on February, 25th, 2007. And if not the case the majority of philatelists and would learn that is published by the Russian post private circulation Shishkin’s series in which at least one stamp exists with changed perforation. This issue obviously not casual, time it has got to the reference and it has appeared on peripheral post office. There is some question: 1. Where there is a basic part of circulation of these stamps, who and how has organized its private realization to interested philatelists? 2. How many bumps to naive philatelists’ fans and masters worthy earnings "are going to fill"? 3. What unlucky stamps dealers will still be pierced"? and who are following from interested persons to substitute the unlucky forehead».

In news from January, 2nd, 2012 the website "UkraFil" informed about the Byelorussian postage issue dated for start of the first Belarus space vehicle "BelKA". In 2006 the start of the Russian carrier rocket from the cosmodrome Baykonur has come to the end unsuccessfully, the Belarus satellite has been lost. The triumphal introduction into prestigious club of world space powers should be postponed till the best times and the published stamp to destroy.

The postage issue with satellite "BelKA" image was preceded by thorough ideological and creative preparation of scientists-advisers and artists. Start of the first space vehicle should look, as logic continuation of merits of the Belarus cosmonauts during the Soviet period. Therefore in March 2006 the post of Belarus had been published a special stamp and the prestamped cover devoted to the 25 anniversary of the longest at that point in time stay at an orbiting station "Salute-6" of cosmonauts V. Kovalyonok and V. Savinyh.

However, initially "Belpochta" planned to publish the personal stamp devoted to ethnic Byelorussian Vladimir Kovalyonok for which weeds together with Victor Savinyh in 1981 was the second long expedition on station "Salute". But to time before "the main start" remains a little and consequently it was necessary to be limited to only special art envelope.

On July, 27th, 2006 at the Minsk main post office in an anticipation of news from the cosmodrome Baykonur pending pined both collectors, and post workers. The issue published in art mini sheet of 8 values should go on sale at 13 o'clock. For it the special envelope and stamp of the First Day has been prepared, but.... There were serious and reticent people in the civilian and have taken away with itself all philatelic material both all financial and information documentation, concerning the planned issue. Finita la comedia (the play is over).
For today, on doubtful hearings, it is known about existence of specimens of "BelKA" stamp: one perforated and one imperforated sheetlets with mark "Sample" on the turnaround glutinous party.

In the near future - end of March - beginning of April, 2012, Belarus again will try to get the satellite in space. It’s planned to start space vehicle "BelKA-2" which will be put into orbit by the Russian carrier rocket "Sojuz" and start drive module "Frigate". Designers are assured that the new Belarus satellite will be more reliable, easier and fortune then previous. And philatelists need to hope only that second "Squirrel" will be not comprehended by a tragical fate of the predecessor and the Belarus philately will replenish with a long-awaited space plot.

The Lvov national museum of A.Sheptitsky is an impressive collection of subjects of the fine arts. Includes the collection of Ukrainian icons XIV—XVIII centuries, a collection of manuscripts XI—XVI centuries, collections of engravings XVII—XVIII centuries, samples of painting and sculpture XVIII—XIX centuries the Museum has been found in February, 1905 by Greco-catholic metropolitan Andrey Sheptitsky.

To a Centenary of the Lvov museum in 2005 the Ukrainian post issued a set of 2 values on which one of the most interesting exhibits of a museum are reproduced: an icon of Archangel Michael of XIV century and a picture of 1872 "The Dalmatin woman" of Teofil Kopistinsky.

The stamps are printed in mini sheet of 4 sets and have arrived in the post circulation on December, 13th 2005. Some months has passed in the middle of 2006 the enterprise "Marka Ukrayiny" (Stamp of Ukraine) has issued a colourful album for collectors with a set of the Ukrainian stamps of 2005 with the art illustrations and descriptions of post issues in 1 thousand copies. In the book was sewed the special sheet printed on a special condensed glutinous paper, with images of stamps in various colour combinations, and also colour reproduction of the set with the another perforation.

These stamps are high-grade signs on post payment and concern to the independent post issue. However till now any serious catalogue in any way does not mention them and does not inform neither as on separate issue, nor as about a version of a usual series. In this connection the given post issue risks to appear out of sight of the majority of collectors.
In electronic shop and catalogue UkraFil the stamps are represented in section Ukraine 2005 at numbers: UA00462 - set of 2 values, UA00462-1 - typographical proof sheet.

The Roe Deer is a small crevice with a slender body and thin legs, standing about 135 centimetres high and weighing up to 30 kilos. In summer it has reddish brown and in winter greyish hair. The white or dull yellow rump patch is particularly conspicuous in females. Only males have antlers. Their favourite habitats are landscapes where clear areas alternate with groves. In the summer they eat grass but have to do with shrubs, tree or bush shoots and bark, including spruce and pine needles in winter. The young, one to two fawns per one female, are born in May to June. Roebucks live to be seven to eight years old in the wild, goats a little longer. Their most important natural enemies are the wolf and the lynx. In late winter also stray dogs kill animals that have become week over the winter. The roe deer is one of the most important game animals in Estonia, the population of which fluctuates a great deal depending on the severity of the winter, thickness of the snow cover, disease, carnivores' pressure and other factors.

In 2011 on the World chess Olympic Games among juniors till 16 years the Armenian chess players have won silver medals. And the silver prize-winner of the European championship among young men Shant Sargossyan became the youngest owner of a rank of the candidate for master of Chess federation for all history of this dear international organization.

On stamps are represented the Armenian child prodigies - pride of republic. The topic "Europa" of 2010 - "Children's books" only has remotely something in common with plots of the Karabakh issue. However, it hasn't caused anxiety authors of stamps. Children and are children even in the Mountainous Karabakh!
