Pomgol

The name is an abbreviation of the Russian term "Помощь голодающим" or "Relief for Starving".

The second issue was four 1922 stamps with images of aircraft, postal cars, steamboats, and trains.

Tikhon appealed to the international religious community and soon some aid began to arrive.

[1] The Pomgol Central Commission (Центральная комиссия помощи голодающим при ВЦИК) established by the Soviet government (VTsIK) existed during July 1921 — October 1922.

Among the activities of pomgol was the first Soviet statewide lottery with all proceeds directed for famine relief.
