I think this stamp features a postmark from Khoroshyovo, which Google tells me is a station on the Moscow metro.

But the station was only built in 2016.

Perhaps the station was named for the locality, but I can't find information on that.

Is anyone able to read the second word? This might help solve the puzzle.

Thanks so much for that, vayolene! So the second word is 'Poltava'?

It is one of the best and clearest Russian postmarks I've ever found.

I couldn't bring myself to sell it until I knew what it was at the very least.
