Moscow Municipal Society of Philatelists (Russian: Московское городское общество коллекционеров) was a regional philatelic organisation in the Soviet Union established in Moscow in 1957. Later on, it was merged into the All-Union Society of Philatelists [Wikidata] (Russian: Всесоюзное общество филателистов).

History

[edit]

The first Soviet philatelic organisation, Moscow Society of Philatelists and Collectors, was founded in 1918 in Moscow, and the All-Russian Society of Philatelists was established in 1923.[1]

In the 1940s, because of the Great Patriotic War, the organised philatelic movement in the USSR ceased. Only in separate cities, there were circles and clubs.[2] In the 1950s, philatelic associations began appearing in many cities around the country.[1]

The Moscow Municipal Society of Collectors, nowadays the Union of Moscow Philatelists, was created in 1957.[2] In 1963, it started publishing the annual Sovetskii Kollektsioner (Soviet Collector).[1]

In March 1966, the All-Union Society of Philatelists was founded.[2] It evolved from the Moscow Municipal Society of Collectors and a range of philatelic associations in other cities of the country.[3] These associations became regional members of the All-Union Society of Philatelists, subsequently the Union of Philatelists of the USSR.[1][2] The latter functioned until 1992.[2]
