This is a provisional issue from Russia during the turbulent Civil War period, printed locally on thin paper in a simple typographic design. The stamp features the Imperial double-headed eagle within a shield, with the inscription “ПОЧТОВАЯ МАРКА” (Postage Stamp) above. Denominated 15 kopeks in red, it reflects the emergency issues produced when central postal authority broke down.

Such stamps are of great philatelic interest due to their crude printing, lack of perforations, and strong ties to the transitional period between Imperial Russia and Soviet rule. These issues are sought after by collectors specializing in Russian Civil War provisionals, local posts, and unperforated varieties.
