Soviet Philatelist or Sovetskii Filatelist[b] was a Soviet central philatelic magazine published in 1922–1932 by the All-Russian Society of Philatelists.[1][2] For a number of years, in 1925 and in 1928–1932, its name was changed to Soviet Collector or Sovetskii Kollektsioner.[c][1][3]

Early Soviet periodicals for collectors (top to bottom): Russian Collector, North Correspondence (2 issues), Crimean Collector, and Soviet Philatelist

History

By 1922, shortly after the Civil War, a number of magazines and pamphlets for collectors appeared in Soviet Russia:

  • Russkii Kollektsioner (Russian Collector), published in Novocherkassk,
  • Priural'skii Kollektsioner (Ural Collector),
  • Krymskii Kollektsioner (Crimean Collector), etc.[3]

However, centralisation of collectors' organisations and periodicals was wanted:

...Instead of dissipating our forces, wouldn't it be better to rally all Russian collectors around one banner, the outline of which is already sufficiently drawn, and produce monthly handbooks containing articles of a serious nature? This rather than subsisting on themes such as "all possible stamps of Tibet," or some such? This is an important question, and as far as the journal we are contemplating is concerned, its external and internal appearance should be more pleasing than Krymskii Kollektsioner (Crimean Collector).

— from Russkii Kollektsioner, 1922, "On the First Issue of Priural'skii Kollektsioner",
cited in Filateliya SSSR, 1985, No. 9.[3]

By 1924, these local magazines eventually closed down. In September 1922, the new magazine, Soviet Philatelist, first saw print in Moscow.[3] Its founder and editor was Feodor Chuchin, the Commissioner for Philately and Scripophily.[4]

In 1925, the magazine name was changed to Sovetskii Kollektsioner. The magazine was published biweekly. It was edited by V. A. Bessonov at that time.[3]

In 1926 three magazines, Sovetskii Filatelist, Sovetskii Kollektsioner and Radio de Filintern, were combined. They began to be published under one cover. Their individual lineal numeration was preserved. The last combined issue came out in December 1927.[3]

In the first half of 1928, the cover of the combined issues was only under one title, Sovetskii Filatelist. In July 1928, the magazine was renamed to Sovetskii Kollektsioner. It was published by the Soviet Philatelic Association and the All-Russian Society of Philatelists. The last issue appeared in December 1932.[2][3]
