Accordingly, after the formation of the Soviet Union, the People's Commissariat for Posts and Telegraphs of the USSR was created in 1923 instead of the similar agency of the RSFSR.

Regulations on the new Commissariat were approved by the USSR Central Executive Committee session on 12 November 1923.

[1] In 1924, the People's Commissariat for Posts and Telegraphs set up a mobile postal service, providing it to rural localities.

Between 1922 and 1930, there were also stamps meant to raise money for famine relief, child welfare and other charity purposes.

Since 1929, the Soviet government had started paying more attention to this revenue source and selling more stamps abroad.
