The book provides a general classification and description of all Russian zemstvo stamps known at the time of publication. Collecting zemstvo stamps is one of the most interesting topics in Russian philately. It is commonly believed that collecting Russian zemstvo stamps was more popular abroad than in Russia. However, this is not entirely accurate. The popularity of collecting zemstvo stamps in the world can be attributed to a few Russian collectors. From the very beginning, zemstvo postage stamps attracted the attention of Russian stamp collectors. The diversity, originality of the design and shape, and colorfulness made them a desirable object in every collection. The interest in and demand for Russian zemstvo stamps became particularly noticeable in the early 1880s.
