.РФ is a national domain extension of the Russian Federation. Names in the .РФ domain zone are written in the Cyrillic alphabet. The first addresses in the network started working on May 12 of 2010, immediately after the .РФ domain was officially delegated to Russia. They became the names президент.рф and правительство.рф. On November 11 of 2010, the right to register a domain in the new zone was granted to anyone who wished to do so. Today, a significant part of Russian Internet users, including government agencies and national projects, commercial companies, public organizations, and educational institutions use the .рф domain. The task of the National Internet Domain Coordination Center is to ensure reliable and stable operation of the national top-level domains .RU and .РФ, which make the basis for the infrastructure of the Russian segment of the Internet

The unstamped postcard features Article 68 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the .РФ domain logo and the Cyrillic alphabet.

A total of 2 unstamped postcards dedicated to the 15th Anniversary of the .РФ national domain were issued that are dedicated to the safe space of the Russian Internet, accessible services of state and municipal services, as well as convenience and diversity of services on the Internet for all citizens of our country. Augmented reality technology has been applied to these postcards, and a video about the advantages of Cyrillic domain names is accessible via the mARka mobile application.
