All-Russian Society of Philatelists (Russian: Всероссийское общество филателистов) was the first national philatelic organisation in Soviet Russia established in 1923. Later on, it was subsequently renamed and reorganised into the All-Union Society of Philatelists (Russian: Всесоюзное общество филателистов) and the All-Union Society of Collectors (Russian: Всесоюзное общество коллекционеров).
History
In Soviet Russia, the first philatelic organisation, Moscow Society of Philatelists and Collectors, appeared in 1918 in Moscow. In 1922, the idea of a new countrywide philatelic society was supported by the Russian Bureau of Philately at the RSFSR National Commissariat of Post and Telegraphs. On 15 March 1923, the charter of the All-Russian Society of Philatelists was approved. On 6 April 1923, its first meeting took place in Moscow.
In 1923, 643 collectors joined the All-Russian Society of Philatelists. The society's branches worked in Yerevan, Tiflis, Tashkent, Ashgabat, Baku, and other cities. In 1924–1925, the First All-Union Philatelic Exhibition was held. The All-Russian Society of Philatelists published the Soviet Philatelist magazine (1922–1932). It existed until the late 1930s.
