On November 25, a postage stamp My Russia was put into postal circulation



From July 1 to August 24, 2025, JSC Marka, with the assistance of the Moscow Branch of the Union of Artists of Russia and the Union of Philatelists of Russia, held an All-Russian competition for drawing sketches of a postage stamp and a postcard themed My Russia. According to the terms and conditions of the Competition, the participants in the Competition may be citizens of the Russian Federation aged 18 and older: professional painters and designers, students of creative universities, and amateur artists.

The goal of the competition is to use postage stamps and postcards to tell addressees about nature, culture, landmarks, and customs of Russia. Besides, to provide an image on a postcard or stamp that would help addressees get acquainted with our country, make them want to visit Russia, and encourage them to start collecting stamps and postcards.

The winners have been chosen from among more than 500 artworks.

The postage stamp features the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Moat, or the St. Basil's Cathedral (State Historical Museum), and the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin.
