Ukraine 's best known stamp features a soldier raising the middle finger to a Russian warship.

The warship in question, the cruiser Moskva, was sunk by the Ukrainians two days after the stamp was issued.

Ihor Smilyansky says a dose of humour is added to Ukrposhta 's stamps to maintain Ukrainian morale.
