Although I don't collect this area I find it quite fascinating. My mother has Russian blood in her & through her, by marriage, I am related to Peter Stolypin (although maybe I shouldn't be advertising that too much)
I notice that the catalogue is based on Chuchin so its credentials are impeccable.
Years ago I recall reading that the rarest stamp in the world was a Zemstvo of which only one half portion is known, one half was put on the letter & the other half kept as a receipt, or some such. I'll have to peruse the catalogue & see if I can find if it's true.
