Ukrainian Connection on the Zeppelin Service
The majestic, silver airship Graf Zeppelin (Count Zeppelin) ruled the uncluttered skies of the late 1920s and early 1930s like no other monarch could. The sight of the sleek, silent ship gliding overhead brought crowds of people streaming from their homes and into the streets. No other aircraft in history has been the focus of so much admiration by so many people.
News from Postage Prepayment Impressions Development Directorate
Postage Prepayment Impressions Development Directorate of USEP “Ukrposhta” has posted the following news on their website http://www.stamp.kiev.ua with regards to the upcoming reorganization of the recently created Directorate (formerly Marka Ukrainy):
Good News from Ukraine – Letters Not Needed!
Since the publication of my President’s message in the December 2008 Trident Visnyk, I have received good news from Ukraine. Valentyna Khudoliy has informed me in a letter that the reorganization at the former Marka Ukrainy is now complete and that the main difference is a change in the name of the Directorate, which was changed to avoid confusion with another commercial venture in Ukraine with a very similar name. Staffing remains the same and the organization is stable with Mrs. Khudoliy continuing at the helm. At her request, I am rescinding my call for letters on her behalf, as they are not needed.
Mrs. Khudoliy indicated that philatelic materials will continue to be available through their website (www.stamp.kiev.ua) and that stamp issues for 2009 are on track and will be issued according to plan.
