THE GOVERNING COMMITTEE OF THE HEBREW COMMUNITY IN KAMENITZ-PODOLSK in UKRAINIAN PEOPLES REPUBLIC This is an official affirmation of a marriage. From the names, it is assumed that the man is a Jew and the woman is a gentile. The stamps are of the Ukrainian People's Republic which was a short-lived independent country that emerged after the fall of the Czar in 1917 and before the establishment of the Soviet state. The trident symbol (in the handstamps) was used as a symbol of Ukrainian nationalism. It was used to overprint stamps used by the Ukrainian People's Republic and revived and used by current Ukraine. The Ukrainian People's Republic was absorbed as a republic in the USSR in the early 1920s as a result of the outcome of the civil wars. [This from an e-mail received by the vendor.] There are more stamps on the back.
