History
In Russia prior to the October Revolution, there was a well established and organised philatelic community.[2] With the beginning of World War I, activity of Russian philatelic societies and magazines stopped. Communications with foreign philatelic societies were interrupted.[3]
After the October Revolution, stamp collectors managed to obtain legalisation of philately in Soviet Russia.[2] The new magazine, Russian Magazine of Collectors and Correspondents (Russian: Российский журнал коллекционеров и корреспондентов), established in 1916 and issued till July 1918, promoted the foundation of the Moscow Society of Philatelists and Collectors.[3] It was set up in Moscow in March 1918.[4] This was the first philatelic organisation in the RSFSR. Most members of the pre-revolutionary Moscow Society of Stamp Collectors joined the new society. It existed till February 1921.[4][5] After its dissolution, the All-Russian Society of Philatelists was established in 1923.[1]
