Soviet and post-Soviet postage rates in Russia changed multiple times in the period 1917 to present.

Gold Standard Issue
The Gold Standard issue or Small Head issue was the first definitive series of postage stamps issued by the Soviet Union between 1923 and 1927. The stamps were designed by Ivan Shadr. History The RSFSR Government re-issued definitive stamps with regular frequency.
