Russia is a large country that includes eastern Europe and northern Asia. In 1991, the Soviet Union was formally dissolved after all republics except Russia declared independence. As a result, Russia, or the Russian Federation, also became independent. Russia has been issuing its own stamps again since 1992. After the Ukrainian revolution in 2014, the Ukrainian Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the Ukrainian federal city of Sevastopol jointly declared independence as the Republic of Crimea in a referendum and immediately joined the Russian Federation.

Since 2015, the private postal service PetersPost, a division of the stamp dealer PeterStamps, has been issuing its own stamps for its Russian post offices in Saint Petersburg and Moscow.
