PRODUCT INFORMATION The history of the post and postage stamps of Abkhazia is divided into periods corresponding to the postal systems of the states in which this territory was located (the Russian Empire, the USSR, Georgia), and the initially unrecognized, and now partially recognized Republic of Abkhazia (since 1994[1]). Abkhazia's own postage stamps have been issued since 1993, but their legitimacy was questioned before the official proclamation of state sovereignty in 2008[3]. The modern postal operator of the republic is the state company "Apsneimadara" ("Abkhazsvyaz")[2].

For almost the entire XX century (1922-1990) Abkhazia was an autonomous republic within the Georgian SSR (first the Socialist Soviet Republic of Abkhazia, 1921-1931, then the Abkhazian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, 1931-1991) and was served by the post of the Soviet Union. In the postal circulation during this period there were postage stamps of the USSR. Among them were postage stamps[4], art marked envelopes and other solid things, the drawings of which presented subjects related to Abkhazia.

Lake Ritsa (CFA [JSC "Marka"] No. 2382) Republic of Abkhazia Modern period At the beginning of 1992, the Georgian post introduced new tariffs, according to which an illustrated postcard cost first 41, and then 73 kopecks, a postal envelope — 62 kopecks. Revaluation of old stocks was carried out by hand with an inscription, less often — stamps were glued. Often the inscription was stamped. Envelopes with such a revaluation from Sukhumi with dates up to November 20, 1992 are known[5]. During the Georgian-Abkhaz War of 1992-1993, the territory of Abkhazia occupied by Georgian troops was served by a post exchange office in Tbilisi. In the unoccupied part of Abkhazia, the Gudauta District Communications Center (RUS), headed by Eduard Konstantinovich Pilia, became the center of postal communication. The letters were collected in Gudauta and taken to Gagra, and from there they were sent to Adler and sent through the Sochi post office on all-Russian grounds. A significant part of private letters were sent with those leaving for Russia. Letters addressed to Abkhazia were sent to the Red Cross collection points in Sochi, from there they were picked up and brought to Abkhazia. In Gudauta, apart from RUS, there were only two post offices, where mail was delivered by one postman[5]. To ensure communication in Abkhazia, the Communications Department of the Republic of Abkhazia was established, headed by Eduard Pilia. Later, after the declaration of independence of Abkhazia, its own postal service was created in the person of the state company "Apsneimadara" ("Abkhazsvyaz"), the first director general of which was also E. K. Pilia (until May 2010)[6]. There are certain difficulties in the work of the Abkhazian post. Postal items are not delivered to Abkhazia. Senders address letters, parcels and parcels sent to the republic weighing no more than 3 kg to the mailbox No. 1455 of the post office in Sochi and the subscriber box in Adler, where an employee of "Abkhazsvyaz" comes twice a week for them and transports letters to Abkhazia. By 2011, communication hubs in Abkhazia were operating in Gudauta, Gulrypsh, Ochamchyr, Tkuarchal and Gal districts[6][7]. The signing of the Protocol of Intent between FSUE "Russian Post" and the state company "Abkhazsvyaz" on October 9, 2009[8] secured closer cooperation between the postal departments of Abkhazia and Russia. In particular, it provides for the provision of consulting services and methodological assistance by the Russian Post in the organization and development of the postal infrastructure of the Abkhazsvyaz Group, the expansion of the range and improvement of the quality of postal services and the development of standards in the field of postal communications [9][10].

Gurevich, signed an agreement with the Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Abkhazia on the free publication of the first stamps of Abkhazia using the symbols of the republic. At the same time, the company set a number of conditions, most of which turned out to be unacceptable. So, half of the circulation had to remain for the company to be sold, the subject of the stamps produced was also determined by the company. In addition, such actions as fictitious cancellation of stamps in the USA, the publication of booklets and souvenirs were planned. The receipt of stamps issued by the company in Abkhazia was planned only three months after their publication, the company retained control over the sale of stamps, etc.[5] The first stamps of the unrecognized Republic of Abkhazia appeared on June 25, 1993, even before the proclamation of a sovereign state in 1994[1]. Their release was organized by E. K. Pilia, the then head of the Communications Department of the republic. It was a series of standard stamps of four denominations in toothless and toothless versions. Miniature artist A. Maltsev prepared two subjects for them — the image of a sparrowhawk (5 and 10 rubles) and a map of Abkhazia (50 and 200 rubles)[12][13]. The denominations of the stamps corresponded to the tariffs that existed in Abkhazia until November 1993: 5 rubles — a local postcard, 10 rubles — a local letter, 50 rubles — a letter to Russia, 200 rubles — an inflated tariff planned for inflation (this stamp was later overprinted with a decrease in face value). The subjects of the miniatures were approved on June 10, 1993. On June 24, E. K. Pilia issued Order No. 2 on the Communications Department of the Republic of Abkhazia, according to which the issued postage stamps, starting from June 25, "are mandatory for acceptance by all post offices of the Republic of Abkhazia." However, on this day only a few letters paid for with new stamps left Gudauta[14]. On July 23, 1993, the first commemorative stamp of Abkhazia was issued on the first anniversary of the sovereignty of the republic[15]. It was a red typographic overprint of the abh text. "Arepublika / Aҧsny / 23.07.1992 — 23.07.1993" and a new denomination on the stamp with a nominal value of 200 rubles of the first issue[14]. In September 1993, a commemorative series was published in honor of the first anniversary of the independence of the republic, consisting of two stamps and a postal block. The author of the stamps — artist V. K. Bulkov depicted the flag and coat of arms of Abkhazia on miniatures. The series was planned to be published on September 10, but by order No. 3 of the Communications Department, they were released on September 14[14]. The stamps of the first three issues entered postal circulation only on September 20, 1993 at the post office of the city of Gudauta. On the same day, the circulation of overvalued stamps of the USSR was stopped on the territory of Abkhazia [14][16]. In 1993, the Communications Department of Abkhazia adopted a program, which, in particular, stated the following: the Abkhazian post should conduct a strict emission policy with a limited number of issues, but rather large circulations; a significant part of the circulation should go to the needs of the post office, whose needs determine the number of issues; the issue of stamps with artificially limited circulation is excluded, as an exception, overprints are allowed; stamps are issued in accordance with the established requirements of the Universal Postal Union by postal tariffs. The document also defined a system of orders for the publication of stamps[14]. Abkhazian poet Dmitry Gulia on the stamp of Abkhazia with a coupon (1994) In 1993, several more issues of stamps of the self-proclaimed republic followed[17]: October 27 — one stamp and a small sheet for the World Chess Championship, December 2 — eight standard stamps with the coat of arms of Abkhazia. Before the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Abkhazia on November 26, 1994, the date considered the day of the declaration of independence of modern Abkhazia, several more issues were made[18]: January 19 — 120th anniversary of the birth of the Abkhazian poet D. Gulia[19], January 19 — fauna of Abkhazia. Subsequent issues Standard stamp of Abkhazia (1998) Since the early issues of 1993-1994, the state postal company "Apsneimadara"[2] has already issued more than 300 Abkhazian stamps dedicated to public and statesmen[6][19][20], important events in the history of Abkhazia, its flora and fauna, its symbols and state awards, Orthodox monuments[7].

Sovétsky Soyúz, IPA: [sɐˈvʲɛt͡skʲɪj sɐˈjus] (About this sound listen)), officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Russian: Сою́з Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик, tr. Soyúz Sovétskikh Sotsialistícheskikh Respúblik, IPA: [sɐˈjus sɐˈvʲɛtskʲɪx sətsɨəlʲɪsˈtʲitɕɪskʲɪx rʲɪˈspublʲɪk] (About this sound listen)), abbreviated as the USSR (Russian: СССР, tr. SSSR), was a socialist state in Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991. Nominally a union of multiple national Soviet republics,[a] its government and economy were highly centralized. The country was a one-party state, governed by the Communist Party with Moscow as its capital in its largest republic, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. Other major urban centres were Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Tashkent and Novosibirsk. The Soviet Union was one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states and possessed the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.[7] It was a founding permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, as well as a member of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the leading member of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) and the Warsaw Pact. The Soviet Union had its roots in the October Revolution of 1917, when the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the Russian Provisional Government which had replaced Tsar Nicholas II during World War I. In 1922, after a civil war, the Soviet Union was formed with the unification of the Russian, Transcaucasian, Ukrainian and Byelorussian republics. Following Lenin's death in 1924 and a brief power struggle, Joseph Stalin came to power in the mid-1920s. Under Stalin's leadership, the Soviet Union transitioned from a market economy into a centrally planned economy which led to a period of rapid industrialization and collectivization. As industrial production skyrocketed, the Soviet Union achieved full employment, implemented a universal healthcare system, sharply reduced illiteracy, and provided guarantees of paid vacations, rest homes, and recreational clubs. This period of industrialization was a time of enormous improvements in the standard of living for millions of people in the country, starkly contrasting with the situations of other countries during the Great Depression, but was also a time characterized by major institutional shortcomings and failures. In the 1930s, with the rise of fascism in Europe, the Communist Party pursued aggressive campaigns to suppress potential counter-revolution, fermenting political paranoia which culminated in the Great Purge in which extrajudicial arrests and executions of suspected counter-revolutionaries led to an estimated 600,000 deaths. As a result of these mass arrests, penal labor through the Gulag system was used to construct infrastructure projects, though this consistently proved to be an inefficient system throughout its existence.[8] Increased demand for agricultural products to pay for industrialization combined with a relatively low harvest yield led to the famine of 1932–33 in which an estimated 2.4 to 4 million people died in the country's agricultural centers of Ukraine, southern Russia, and Kazakhstan.[9][10] After the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany, Stalin tried repeatedly to form an anti-fascist alliance with other European countries. However, finding no support, shortly before World War II, the Soviet Union became the last major country to sign a treaty with Germany with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, after which the two countries invaded Poland in September 1939. In June 1941, the pact collapsed as Germany invaded the Soviet Union, opening the largest and bloodiest theatre of war in history. Soviet war casualties accounted for the highest proportion of the conflict in the effort of acquiring the upper hand over Axis forces at intense battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk. The territories overtaken by the Red Army became satellite states of the Soviet Union; the postwar division of Europe into capitalist and communist halves would lead to increased tensions with the West, led by the United States. The Cold War emerged by 1947, as the Eastern Bloc, united under the Warsaw Pact in 1955, confronted the Western Bloc, united under NATO in 1949. On 5 March 1953, Stalin died and was quickly succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev, who in 1956 denounced Stalin and began the De-Stalinization of Soviet society through the Khrushchev Thaw. The Soviet Union took an early lead in the Space Race, with the first artificial satellite and the first human spaceflight. Khrushchev was removed from power by his colleagues in 1964 and was succeeded as head of state by Leonid Brezhnev. In the 1970s, there was a brief détente of relations with the United States, but tensions resumed with the Soviet–Afghan War in 1979. In the mid-1980s, the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, sought to reform and liberalize the economy through his policies of glasnost (government transparency) and perestroika (openness, restructuring). Under Gorbachev, the role of the Communist Party in governing the state was removed from the constitution, causing a surge of severe political instability to set in. The Cold War ended during his tenure, and in 1989, Soviet satellite states in Eastern Europe overthrew their respective communist governments. With the rise of strong nationalist and separatist movements inside the union republics, Gorbachev tried to avert a dissolution of the Soviet Union in the post-Cold War era. A March 1991 referendum, boycotted by some republics, resulted in a majority of participating citizens voting in favor of preserving the union as a renewed federation. Gorbachev's power was greatly diminished after Russian President Boris Yeltsin played a high-profile role in facing down an abortive August 1991 coup d'état attempted by Communist Party hardliners. On 25 December 1991, Gorbachev resigned and the remaining twelve constituent republics emerged as independent post-Soviet states. The Russian Federation—formerly the Russian SFSR—assumed the Soviet Union's rights and obligations and is recognized as the successor state of the Soviet Union.[11][12][13] In summing up the international ramifications of these events, Vladislav Zubok stated: "The collapse of the Soviet empire was an event of epochal geopolitical, military, ideological and economic significance.
