“The Federal Communications Agency together with the supervised FSUE PTC “Marka” annually issues various products dedicated to Russian outstanding culture luminaries and public figures. Not only are stamps a sign of postal payment but also they bear interesting and valuable information. One can study history, geography, art and literature.
