philatelic help?

[Olga Dobrunova]

Hello Anne,
  My guess is:
  yaltatavrg - might be connected with Tavrichesky University organized in Yalta, or Tavrichesky Palace.
  Checherskmogil - Chechersk is located in Mogilev Region (Belarus).
  Of course, I am not sure about this - it is my guess only. Some hints can be given you by pictures on the stamps.

  Dear SEELANGers,

I have been asked to help decipher some cancelled Soviet stamps, but 
can't. To me the cancellation stamps look like they say "YALTATAVRG" 
and "CHECHERSKMOGIL" or "CHECHERSKMOGUL". The names of the two towns 
Yalta and Chechersk are clear enough, but what do the continuations 
mean?

Thank you for any leads, and I'd be happy to forward the scans 
themselves to any interested philatelists,

Annie
