Second All-Russian Issue.
The All-Russian Committee for Aid to Sick and Wounded Red Army Soldiers and War Invalids under the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of Soviets (Vserokompom) existed from October 1919 to March 1930. Under the decree of the VTsIK dated January 11, 1922, Vserokompom became the central public organization collecting donations, organizing various charity campaigns, and mobilizing the public to care for the wounded.
From the summer of 1922, the publishing section under the Central Trade Administration (TsTU) of Vserokompom began issuing postcards, portraits, badges, and stamps.
One of the initiators of issuing charity stamps for the benefit of war invalids was the All-Russian Committee for Aid to Sick and Wounded Red Army Soldiers and War Invalids under the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of Soviets (Vserokompom), which existed from October 1919 to March 1930. Under the decree of the VTsIK dated January 11, 1922, Vserokompom became the central public organization collecting donations, organizing various charity campaigns, and mobilizing the public to care for the wounded.
Starting in April 1923, three mass campaigns were held in the country, the so-called "All-Russian Weeks of Aid to War Invalids." Vserokompom printed and distributed throughout the country a large number of charity stamps: from May to October 1923 alone, 40 million copies. Revenue from stamp sales in Vserokompom's 1923 budget amounted to 34%.
A common distinguishing feature of the stamps of these issues was the mandatory presence of the words "denz. 23 g.", "dzn. 23 g." or "dnz. 23 g.", i.e., the face value in the monetary units of 1923. A characteristic feature of the stamps issued from August 1922 to April 1923 was the presence of the abbreviation "Ts.T.U."
From mid-1923, due to inflation, it became necessary to revalue the stamps. The corresponding overprints on the stamps were made in different cities, so there is no uniformity in their application, fonts, color, or wording. There are several hundred such varieties. The 1923 issues conclude with high-denomination stamps of 250, 500, and 1000 rubles. They were intended to pay collective contributions. On the stamps of this series, the face value in the 1923 monetary units is indicated for the last time.
In March 1930, the committee was reorganized into a society (Vseroobpom) — the All-Russian Society for Aid to War Invalids, the sick, the wounded and demobilized Red Army soldiers, and the families of persons killed in the war and those conscripted into the ranks of the Red Army and the Fleet.
