History
The bulletin Filateliya SSSR was published monthly in Moscow since 1966.[4] It was an organ of the Ministry of Communications of the USSR and the All-Union Society of Philatelists (Russian: Всесоюзное общество филателистов). Its predecessor was the magazine Sovetskii Filatelist (Soviet Philatelist).[5]
The bulletin (later, magazine) included the following information:[5]
- announcements of new postage stamp issues,
- information about research in postal and philatelic history,
- information about thematic collecting,
- news about the activities of the All-Union Society of Philatelists,
- news about the philatelic organisations in other socialist countries,
- a section for junior philatelists.
The magazine repeatedly won awards at international philatelic exhibitions. Its circulation was approximately 100,000 copies (in 1977).[5]
In 1991, the last year of the USSR existence, the magazine was printed with the circulation of about 44,000 copies. Since then, it was published under the new name of Filateliya.[2]
