Ukrainian Underground Post
The Ukrainian Underground Post or Underground Post of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Підпільна пошта України, romanized: Pidpilna poshta Ukrainy), commonly abbreviated as PPU, was an internationally unrecognized Ukrainian diaspora postal agency based in Munich, West Germany, and in Chicago, United States that released cinderella stamps worldwide from its opening in 1949 until its closure in 1983. The Ukrainian war veteran and prisoner of war Stepan Liubomyr Rychtyckyj developed an interest in philately and, with Julian Maksymchuk, helped to found the organisation in West Germany. It operated under a branch of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, an authoritarian nationalist organisation that sought a Ukrainian state independent from the Soviet Union after its annexation of the Ukrainian People's Republic in 1921.
