03.15.2013 Ukraine. "A grasshopper sat in grass"

More three years ago the website “UkraFil” presented an information in news of November 24, 2009 named "Grasshopper-dragonfly". The publication about an unknown Ukraine postage issue interested many collectors in the popular scientific magazine. The black-and-white fragments of 6 stamps with the image of insects surprised experts on the Ukrainian philately much. But anybody didn't hear anything about it and didn't guess at all existence of this issue.

During three years the UkraFil website administrator made a journalistic investigation: asked the philatelists, a highest and ordinary post workers, the “Ukrposhta” editors etc. It was useless. Even the authors of issue the known Ukrainian artists Alexander and Sergey Haruk knew nothing about destiny of the work performed by request of the enterprise "Marka Ukrainy". In due time they were told only that the sketch isn't approved, for the printing won't be sent and therefore it isn't necessary to count on payment of the performed work.

Fortunately, the administrator efforts weren't in vain. There were witnesses who claimed that saw alive a printed Block "Insects of Ukraine". For the unspecified reasons issue didn't arrive into circulation. All block edition was redeemed by someone businessman from Germany. However, a quantity of blocks was taken away by the Minister of Communications of Ukraine of the beginning 90th, at that time already former, but still possessing some influence on Ukrposhta. His name is Starodub (Oldoak). For full information advised to address to it. However, whether "The old oak" is live still? And whether it is worth raking over the past now?
