The Northern Sea Route (NSR) is a Russia's primary maritime Arctic shipping lane that runs along the northern coast of Russia traversing the Barents, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, and Chukchi seas of the Arctic Ocean and partly of the Pacific Ocean (the Bering Sea).
The modern NSR is the result of centuries-long development of northern regions of Russia. It connects European and Far Eastern ports, as well as the mouths of navigable Siberian rivers, into a single transport system. Its length from the Kara Gate to the Providence Bay is about 5,610 km, and the length of the adjacent navigable river routes is about 37,000 km. Transport convoying through ice massives is possible only with the help of icebreakers. The Northern Sea Route serves the Arctic ports and those of major Siberian rivers, thereby ensuring the import of food, fuel, and equipment, and the export of timber and minerals.
During the Great Patriotic War, the NSR was the most important transport route in the Arctic, used by warships of the Pacific Fleet to reach the Barents Sea.

On October 14, a souvenir sheet dedicated to the nuclear industry of Russia will go into postal circulation
The nuclear industry of Russia dates back to 1945. After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the USSR State Defense Committee instituted a Special Committee. The new agency launched an extensive effort to create an atomic arsenal. The RDS-1 bomb was the first action point on the path to nuclear parity. In 1946, the Europe and Asia first controlled fission reaction of uranium was held, and I. Kurchatov launched the first nuclear reactor. The F-1 uranium-graphite research facility was built in Moscow at Laboratory No. 2 of the USSR Academy of Sciences (presently, the Kurchatov Institute). F-1 was used by scientists to create and refine technologies for producing weapons-grade plutonium. In 1949, the RDS-1 nuclear bomb was successfully tested.
In 1954, the world's first nuclear power plant was launched in Obninsk. In 1959, the world's first nuclear icebreaker was commissioned. Lenin became the flagship of the nuclear icebreaker fleet, which had been ensuring safe navigation in the Arctic Ocean for over 60 years. In 1964, the Beloyarsk and Novovoronezh nuclear power plants were launched. Today, Russia is the world leader in the construction of nuclear power plants abroad. In 1967, the world's largest proton accelerator was built and launched.
In 2007, the Rosatom State Corporation was established. This marked the beginning of the modern history of the nuclear energy industry in Russia.
In 2020, the Federal Program for Nuclear Science and Technology was developed. Since 2021, Russia has been implementing a comprehensive program named Development of Equipment, Technologies, and Scientific Research in the Field of Atomic Energy Use, coordinated by the Rosatom and scientifically supervised by RRC Kurchatov Institute.

On October 15, two postage stamps dedicated to fauna will go into postal circulation in the framework of the Joint Issue of the Russian Federation and the Lao People's Democratic Republic
Diplomatic relations between Russia and Laos were established on October 7, 1960. Over the past 65 years, friendly ties between the two countries have been actively developing, with fruitful cooperation in the political, commercial, economic, tourist, cultural, and humanitarian spheres.
The natural areas and climate of Russia and Laos create favorable conditions for a wide variety of animals to live in these countries, some of which are on the verge of extinction.
The East Siberian lynx is a subspecies of a Eurasian lynx and the largest representative of the species. These predatory cats have relatively short bodies and long, strong legs; their thick fur grows even on their thick paws between their paw pads. Lynxes inhabit the forests of Eastern Siberia and Yakutia, mainly in dense dark coniferous taiga.
The marbled cat is a species of wild cat. Its coat is thick and soft, with a specific marbled pattern—dark spots and stripes on a light brown or grayish-yellow background. Thanks to its long tail and flexible body, the cat is excellent at moving from tree to tree, and the special structure of its joints allows it to move down a tree headfirst, like squirrels. It inhabits the tropical forests of continental Southeast Asia. It sticks to a predominantly arboreal lifestyle and is active at night and at dusk.
The postage stamps provide images of the representatives of the feline family: the East Siberian lynx, which lives in Russia, and the marbled cat, which lives in Laos.

On October 16, a souvenir sheet dedicated to the gold of the Huns will go into postal circulation in the Archaeological Heritage of Russia series
The archaeological heritage of Russia belongs to all the peoples of the Russian Federation who have ever inhabited its territory. It is independent evidence of the formation and distribution of various ancient cultures that make up the rich fund of traditions of the past of our country.
In 2010, an ancient treasure was found in the village of Volnikovka in the Kursk Region. Experts determined that the treasure was an ancient burial site where a noble Hun warrior and his horse were buried. A total of about 300 items dating back to the 5th century AD were discovered, including elements and fragments of ceremonial men's sword slings with a sword and a dagger, a ceremonial belt, and a horse harness.
During excavations of Hunnic monuments, many unique decorations were discovered, made in red and yellow colors. The surface of the gold items was divided into cells containing stones - almandines or carnelians - or reddish glass inserts. An important element in such items was granulation - an ornament made of tiny gold balls soldered to the surface of the item. This artistic style became known as the Gunnish polychrome style. It was used to decorate sword and dagger handles, scabbards, buckles, brooches, collars, diadems, earrings, and harness details. These treasures are now reposited in the Kursk State Museum of Archaeology.

On October 30, four postage stamps featuring uniforms of bailiff service employees will go into postal circulation in the Russian Jacket History series
On November 1 (October 19) of 1865, Emperor Alexander II signed a decree that finally defined the status of bailiffs in Russia. The decree defined the order of introduction of the judicial statutes approved in December of 1864. Bailiffs gained their own professional holiday after the issuance of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation on September 8, 2009. Since then, November 1 has been celebrated as Bailiff Day in our country.
Owing to the judicial reform of Alexander II, the institution of bailiffs was created. They served under justice of the peace, district courts, and magistrates' assemblies. Foreigners, persons under the age of 21, persons who had been convicted or were under investigation were denied to become bailiffs. Besides, disciplinary, civil, and criminal liability of bailiffs was also envisaged in the event of improper performance of their official duties.
The institution of bailiffs existed until the early 20th century and was abolished by a Decree of the Council of People's Commissars on November 24, 1917, along with the annulment of the former judicial system.
It was only 80 years later that the Russian state adopted special laws regulating legal relations in the sphere of compulsory enforcement of court decisions and other executive documents.
In 1997, the Federal Court Bailiff Service of the Russian Federation was established.
The postage stamps provide images of:
— bailiffs in ranks VIII and XII (1895);
