The first USSR stamps or First All-Russia Agricultural Exhibition issue appeared in August 1923 as a series of Soviet Union postage stamps. Its designer was the Russian artist Georgy Pashkov.[1][2][3]

History

The First All-Russian Agricultural and Handicraft Exhibition was held in Moscow in 1923. It was opened on 19 August. This very day, a special commemorative series of postage stamps dedicated to the exhibition opening was released. These were the first stamps of the Soviet Union.[1]

Stamps

The stamp design was created by the artist G. Pashkov.[1][3]

The stamps have the inscription in Template:Lang-ru ("USSR") or "Почта CCCP" (Post of the USSR), the value, and the words in Template:Lang-ru (All-Russian Agricultural and Handicraft Exhibition). They were produced by lithographic printing in two versions, imperforate and perforated.[3]
