LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. About us and the Newsletter
The Study Circle is a loose group of persons who are interested in the postal (and general) history
of the area known as Kárpátalja in Hungarian, as Podkarpatská Rus during the First Czechoslovak
Republic, which had a short day of independence as Carpatho Ukraine, and later was integrated
into the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union as the ‘Zakarpatskaja Oblast’. Since 1991 it is ЗАКАР-
ПАТТЯ, the westernmost administrative district in the now independent Ukraine.
The Newsletter came out of a meeting of a few collectors during the PRAHA 2008, its first number
appeared in November 2008. In the last four years we have always produced five issues per year
but cannot keep this high level and cannot promise regular publication intervals as they depend
on the contributions we are receiving. As we can see from the numbers at the public web site,
this Newsletter is read by more than hundred people.
We have the sad duty to report that Colin SPONG, a philatelist from the UK and one of the helpers
of Jan Verleg when producing his monograph, has passed away.
We send our warm welcome to our new member Victor HETMANCZUK (Oakville, Candada) and our
best wishes and kind regards to the (other) members of the Study Circle.
Since December 16th, 2012, our member Martin JURKOVIČ from Bratislava shows his object
“Hungarian Annexation of Carpathian Ruthenia, 1938 – 1944” (5 frames) at EXPONET. Congratu-
lations for the nice material and knowledgeable presentation.

Auction News
In the 161th Mail Auction of Darabanth the following letter with the 1850 issue of Austria went
from 1000 to 80.000 HUF (plus 18 per cent commission, i. e., 335,76 EUR or 436,06 USD). This is
one of the few letters where the fold doesn’t go through the stamp.

But Where is Bozos ?
Cover of a private letter, Alba Regia, July 4th, 1835, to Bozos.
We have learned long ago that private pre-stamp letters in connection with the Carpatho-Ukraine
(then Kárpátalja) are rather rare. The above letter is such an item; the connection is the name of
the receiver (de Horváth) and the route (via Kassa and Unghvár). Alba Regia is Székesfehérvár, of
course; the respective postmark was in use from 1830 to 1848. Assuming a weight of ½ Loth, the
fee of 14 (Kreuzer) was for a distance of more than 18 “Poststationen”.
Again assuming that Bozos is near Ungvár, the postal route went from Székesfehérvár to Buda,
crossed the Danube to Pest, and then went through Eger and Miskolcz up north to Kassa, then
turned eastwards through Nagymihály to Ungvár. On a corresponding map from 1836 I have count-
ed 30 “Poststationen” for this route, so the letter tariff looks good.
But where is Bozos? A village with such a name cannot be found on contemporary maps …
Therefore we need to use gazetteers, i. e., lexicons for place names. The oldest available one is
the book by J. M. Korabinsky (1786) where we find on page 71
Translated to English: “Bozosh, a Hungarian village in the Ungvár county, half a mile from Ungvár
on the left [= Eastern] side of the Ung river, with a mill and a floodgate.”
In the multi-volume gazetteer of Chr. Crusius (1804) for Hungary we first find just a reference
[volume 1 (A to C), page 312]:
B o z o s, Ung. Unghvár. Kmt. S[iehe] Bozdos.
and then on page 311:
B o z d o s, B o z o s, Ungern, diess[eits] der Theyss, Unghvár[er] Gespannsch[aft]. Kaposs. B[ezirk]. Ein
dem Freyherrn v. Horváth gehöriges, nach Unghvár eingepfarrtes Dorf, mit ein[em] Kastell, einer Mahlmühle
und Holzschleuse auf dem Fluße Ungh, gegen Abend nahe bei Darma, ½ Std. v[on] Unghvár.
The Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 24 (January 2013) Page: 4
5. Yes, this makes sense: Bozosh (or Bozdosh), a village owned by „Freyherr von Horváth”, half an
hour from Ungvár, with a mill and a watergate on the river Ung. The name “von Horváth” is a
perfect fit with the (French) “de Horváth” as the receiver of the above letter. From Ungvár to
Bozos the pre-stamp letter certainly was carried by some private worker or courier in the service
of the Horváth family.
At least we have established that the letter in question has its destination in the Kárpátalja. But
where would one find this village Bozos today?
This is when we go back to the always reliable gazetteer by Gy. Lelkes (1998):
On page 133 we find a reference
Bozos ⇒ Őrdarma
and then on page 461
ŐRDARMA Ung vm.
1282 Hungarian and Slovak inhabitants (in 1910)
LR: Bozos, LR: Bozdos, FE: Bozos
» Tarnóc (Ungtarnóc)
today: Sztorozsnicja
And finally (through Google Maps) we can localize the Bozdos’kyi park and Storozhnytsya within
today’s borders of the (expanded) city of Uzhhorod:
Collecting postal items is just part of the fun – having a highly developed library of gazetteers and
other reference books, especially dictionaries and historical literature, is necessary, too.

Early Picture Postcard from Ungvár
In general, picture postcards from the Kárpátalja earlier than 1900 are quite evasive, especially
when in acceptable quality. Just recently I found such a piece:
Picture postcard (Ungvár castle), Ungvár, December 20th, 1899, to Munkács.
It was sent shortly before the Royal Hungarian Mail changed its currency (from krajczár to fillér)
and is addressed to some lieutenant in the Infantry Regiment number 65 in Munkács.

Ukrainian Volunteers in the Austro-Hungarian Army
During WWI, the Ruthenians and Ukrainians from Bukovina, Galicia and Kárpátalja began to ask
for autonomy within the Habsburg Empire and later, when the military defeat of the Dual Monar-
chy became obvious, for political independence.
Registered letter, Várpalánka, March 10th, 1915, to Vienna.
The Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 24 (January 2013) Page: 7
8. One of their main tools for achieving such goals was the “Ukrainian
Legion”, nominally under the rule of Archduke Wilhelm of Habsburg
(born February 10th, 1895, in Pola, died August 18th, 1948, in Kiev in a
Soviet prison hospital).
This Archduke (from the Italian branch of the Habsburg dynasty) in
his early years developed a strong sympathy for the Ruthenian and
Ukrainian peasants and their culture. After having finished his
education at the Military Academy, he was assigned as a second
lieutenant to the 13rd Ulans Regiment on June 12th, 1915. On April
5th, 1917, as a cavalry captain he took over the command of a
Ukrainian Detachment which included the Ukrainian Legion.
When Austro-Hungarian troops marched in to the Southern Ukraine
after the Treaty of Brest-Litowsk (February 9th, 1918) in spring and
summer 1918, he was the nominal commander of this enterprise. His
hopes for becoming King of this area in federative union with the
main Habsburg Empire were shattered when Germany protested these ideas and his near relative,
Emperor Karl, gave in (once more) to German pressure.
Card from the Great War: Emperor Karl awards the Golden
Medal for Bravery to a Ukrainian NCO for the second time.
After World War I, Wilhelm went to the Ukraine, the
“Ukrainische Sitschower Schützen” (more of these in a
moment) became a part of the regular army of the
Western Ukrainian People’s Republic, and Wilhelm be-
came their colonel. On November 6th, 1918, a small
group of this unit under his command occupied Czerno-
witz, the capital of the Bukovina, on request of some
Ukrainian officials as a military support against Roma-
nia. But already a few days later they had to cede
Czernowitz to the advancing Romanian army.

Our dear friends from Leeds can probably explain why Várpalánka (near the Munkács citadel) was
the center of such conspicuous activities of the Ukrainian volunteer forces.

Another Offer for Czechoslovak Military Air Mail in June 1919
Buying and selling on Internet has become completely normal. One of the most frequently used
platforms for such transactions is eBay. Occasionally one can find even something of interest for
the collector of the postal history of Carpatho Ukraine.
One such offer with the title “Carpathian Ukraine/Military airmail FPO 1919” was ending on De-
cember 11th, 2012:
eBay item #2511·9490·3646: Offered for USD 550,-- but not sold.
The item description was: “Rare picture postcard cancellation blue FPO 46/15. 6. 1919, 2nd flight
Uzhorod – S. N. Ves (!) + unit 3. Very rare.” It was offered by eBay seller “novak556” from Brno
(Czech Republic), i. e., Ing. Petr Blaha. We remind you that he has offered (and successfully sold)
similar items in his 80th Brnofila auction on July 1st, 2010 – please see SCM #012 (page 3) and then
SCM #013 (page 4) for further details.
The image provided through eBay does not allow to identify the handwritten date in the textual
part or the date in the F. P. O. 46 stamp. One can clearly see that it is the “large” F. P. O. stamp
(with 30 mm diameter) in a bluish shade.
All examples of such military air mail (from the Walter Rauch and Jan Verleg collections) which
have not been put in doubt have the “small” F. P. O. 46 stamp (with 26 mm diameter) in green-
bluish shade.
I am not expert enough to determine the authenticity of this item. My doubts were strong enough
so that I did not bid on this offer. Others seem to have had similar doubts because the item re-
ceived not a single bid and was not sold. (It will probably come up again somewhere else.)
The textual reference affixed to the offered item on its right side is quite interesting. It basically
re-tells the story as we know it but is from a source unknown to me. Can anybody identify this
source? A complete reference (including a full text) would be very welcome.

Another Schönborn Letter from Beregszász
The following letter was sent registered from Beregszász on October 29th, 1850, to Vienna. The
German address “Seiner Erlaucht / dem Hochgeborenen Reichs Grafen / Carl Eduard v Schönborn
/ in tiefster Ehrfurcht“ is a reminiscence of olden times and the way High Lords were addressed.
Please pay attention to the (very old) Notabene sign in red (i. e., Röthel).
The Count of Schönborn had obviously left Vienna, and the letter followed him to the village
south of Munkács named after him.

The Klempus Brothers
[The following two excerpts from »Republic for a Day« (Robert Hale Limited, London, 1939) give
some information on the Klempuš brothers from Jasiňa – in Ukrainian also written Klumpuš some-
times. The editor.]
On the way through the village [Jasiňa] we met the Klempus’s. The three brothers Klempus were the kings of
Jasina. They were, however, known far beyond the confines of their native village by reason of their ardent devo-
tion to the Ukrainian course, and more especially for the leading part they had played in the Jasina revolt of 1919.
Dmitro, the eldest, was Commandant of the Sitch (as the result of his death in the Hungarian attack of last March
[1939] he is remembered now not only as a patriot but as a martyr), Vasil was head of the Sitch in Jasina, and Ivan,
the youngest, looked after the family’s two timber yards, both of which, incidentally, had been built up with Czech
subsidies.
I had gone to special trouble in Chust to get introduced to them, and had had an amusing talk with the two younger
brothers. I had sat between them talking slowly in Polish, and either one or the other had understood what I said
and translated it. However, when they had found that I was going to stop in the woodwork school when I came to
Jasina they had become distinctly chilly. At the time I had not understood why, but in Jasina it was all quite clear.
Nikendaj [the teacher in this school] was a Czech and I had been in contact with him. The fact that Nikendaj was
surely one of the fairest Czechs that ever existed, or that I had been sent to the woodwork school by a Ukrainian
official in Chust, counted little with the Ukrainians of the calibre of the Klempus’s and Hurka. I felt I was under a
cloud of suspicion. For some time the brothers looked me up and down from head to foot with not so much as a
word.
At last Dmitro said in a hostile tone, “Will you come and have lunch with us? Do come, that is to say, if you can
manage to sit for an hour at a table with two Germans without starting an acid discussion with them.”
Dmitro Klempuš, Commandant of the Sitch.
The Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 24 (January 2013) Page: 13
14. Dmitro, who led us to a villa across the road, looked a real villain, squint-eyed and sharply cruel, and did not seem
willing to trust even those of his followers in Jasina who were regarded as the most “sure”. Also he showed a rest-
less pride in his new uniform by posing willingly every time the Germans showed any inclination to photograph him,
and after lunch asked us all if we would not like to take some more photos of him. But the villa was pleasant for
Jasina and the lunch excellent – five courses and so much local brandy and beer that my head turned. The Ger-
mans, incidentally, who said that they were buying peasant handicrafts for a German firm, were charming and we
talked all the time, almost to the exclusion of our unfortunate host who could speak no German.

Card produced by Margit Rosenthal, paper shop, Jasiňa.
The story of the Jasina revolt of 1919 to which reference has already been made, was a tiny historical episode of its
own – with more of the ingredients of saga and legend than any other isolated historical happening of modern
times.
The revolt was led by a group of young students of whom the most important were the three brothers Klempus,
Vasil, Ivan and Dmitro, Stefan Klotchurak and one Alexei Motcherniak. Ivan Klempus, who had been in close touch
with the Ukrainians in Galicia, went thither early in January [1919] to try and obtain military help from them, while
Dmitro, who was a soldier, was commissioned to study the local Hungarian army, with a view to seeing how it could
most easily be disarmed. Dmitro worked quickly, and on 8 January, a force of 160 local lads attacked and disarmed
the Hungarians, and seized control of Jasina. A mass meeting followed by the bridge and all the inhabitants pro-
claimed their allegiance to the Ukrainian State.
The next objective was Rachov. A spy, a young widow who later married Vasil Klempus, was sent down the valley
to discover the strength of the Hungarians encamped there. The spy was caught and sentenced to death, but later
her life was exchanged for that of two Hungarians who had been taken as hostages. When she arrived back she
reported that the Hungarians were very weak, so the Huculs at once started moving. They had nothing to wear but
their local sheepskin coats, and the force included every male in Jasina. They captured all the villages easily
enough and advanced to the outskirts of Rachov without loss of life. Then there was a good deal of shooting and, it
seems, a certain element of musical comedy. Vasil Klempus went to a telephone, rang up the commander in
[Rachov] and requested that the Hungarians should retire. The commander, surprised by these new methods, or
ignorant as to the strength of the Huculs, at once agreed to do so.
The capture of Rachov meant the acquisition not only of large numbers of new rifles and recruits but also of a num-
ber of badly needed machine-guns. The Huculs pursued their victorious course so quickly that within a few days
they were already within striking distance of Marmoros Sziged [sic]. The Hungarian military commander then sum-
moned the rebel leaders to come and negotiate. On January 26 Vasil Klempus went to Marmoros Sziged, but the
Hungarians, finding him intransigent, threw him into gaol. This precipitated the Hucul’s first tactical error. They ad-
vanced on Marmoros Sziged and captured it. But peasants were not the people best qualified to manage a town
The Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 24 (January 2013) Page: 14
15. with a large urban population of Hungarians and Jews. Besides, they had weakened their strategic position for the
town was across the river Tisza. The Rumanians, who had long wanted to seize Marmoros Sziged but had not
dared to do so, saw their opportunity, brought up a whole division and, after a long and fierce battle, forced the
Huculs to retreat leaving twenty-six dead and over three hundred prisoners. The Rumanians, the new enemy,
drove the Huculs up the [Tisza] valley again, and advanced as far as Rachov in a few days. But they were then
occupied with war against the new Bolshevik régime in Hungary and had no more force to waste on what they con-
sidered to be only a few mountaineers.
The Huculs meanwhile set to work to organize an independent State. They elected a kind of Parliament of forty-two
members, including two Jews and two Hungarians, and appointed four ministers, local Huculs, to deal with military,
economic and home affairs and also feeding. The Ministry of Food was, curiously enough, the most important, and
the food question presented serious difficulties. The Huculs managed to exchange wood spirit for food.
The Republic lasted until the end of 1919, when the Rumanians captured Jasina. The Klempus’s ran away, but
their father got left behind, and is said to have been beaten to death by the Rumanians.

From »Diplomacy of Double Morality«
[The following excerpt describes some events between January and June 1919, amongst them the
attack of the Hutsuls and the Republic of Yasinya. The editor.]
The climax of the efforts of the pro-Ukrainian movement was the All-National Ruthenian Congress held on
January 21, 1919, in Khust. The Congress was initiated by the Ruthenian National Council of Maramarosh head-
ed by Dr. Mykhaylo Brashchayko, who was elected Chairman of the Congress. This Congress ‘elected a delega-
tion with the aim to go to Kyyiv in order to put the union of Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia with Ukraine in reality.’ A de-
legation headed by Dr. Mykhaylo Brashchayko was sent to Stanyslaviv to settle this problem with the Western
Ukrainian leaders. The All-National Ruthenian Congress in Khust was held one day prior to the celebration of the
Union of all Ukrainian lands in the united Ukrainian State.
Ukrainians of Hutsulshchyna manifested their desire to be incorporated in the Ukrainian State not only by means
of political meeting, but also by organizing their own military force. On January 8, 1919, approximately 160 local
Hutsuls attacked and disarmed Hungarian troops and seized control of Yasinya. This action was carried out
under the leadership of young students, the most important of whom were the three Klempush brothers – Vasyl’,
Ivan, and Dmytro, - Stepan Klochurak, and Oleksa Mochernyak. These men had been in close contact with Ukrai-
nians in Galicia. They mobilized male population in Yasinya and captured the surrounding villages as well as the
city of Rakhiv. On January 16, 1919, these military detachments captured the city of Syhit [Maramarossziget] on
the left bank of the Tysa River. However, the Rumanians counterattacked by moving a whole division of soldiers,
and after a long and fierce battle,, forced them back to the right bank of Tysa River. Meanwhile, Western Ukraine
was at war with Poles and cut off the Trans-Carpathian Hutsulshchyna; therefore, the Hutsuls organized an
independent State. They elected a Parliament of forty-two members, including two Jews and two Hungarians, and
appointed a four member Government. This Republic lasted until June 11, 1919, when the Rumanians captured
Yasinya.[94]

Beware of Costly Jokes
This irregular “use” of the 3K Jasiňa stamp has repeatedly been offered on eBay, e. g., as eBay
item #3804·4488·1641 for GBP 50,00 by eBay seller “dmjkerr-stamps” from the UK. What a non-
sense! (On March 18th, 1939, Prague was already under German occupation.)

The Schönborn Summer Residence in Berehove (Beregszász)
During our autumn trip to the Transcarpathian Region in the Ukraine (September 1st to 7th, 2012)
for two days we stayed in the hotel “Zhayvoronok” in Berehove. One of our evening walks lead us
to the nearby former summer residence of the Schönborn family, now nationalized and used as a
factory building.

New Literature
Early in December 2012 I received the next (and possibly last) booklet from the Hungarian historician
Horváth Lajos in his “Postal History of the Kárpátalja” series – many thanks to the generous sender!
This time it is about Hungarica in the Kárpátalja between 1920 and 2012. On 48 pages under the
lectorate of Voloncs Gábor and celebrating the 75th birthday of the author (our congratulations,
too!), it shows examples of the many cultural links between the Sub-Carpathian region and Hun-
gary proper.
The booklet can be ordered from our member Gidófalvy Péter (Joszef Attila út 41., 4461 Nyír-
telek, Hungary) for just a few Euros.
