This website is dedicated to postal history regarding mail from foreign legations in Russia and Russian legations abroad.
My collection includes items on this topic from the territory of the Russian Empire in it's borders of 1914, including Finland and the russian parts of Poland.
Some parts of this website are still under construction. They will be online soon.
I would appreciate any help to complete the lists of legations. The lists of Germany and the USA (missing Finland...) should be pretty complete.
