In 1870, the zemstvo post of Kolomna Uyezd (Moscow Governorate) was opened. Correspondence was sent from the uyezd administrative center, the city of Kolomna, along the Sukovsky and Malinsky routes once a week. Private correspondence was forwarded with a fee of 5 kopecks.
From 1871, zemstvo postage stamps were introduced. They were divided into “prepaid” (red) and “due” (blue).
From 1889, stamps of 1, 2, 3, and 5 kopecks were issued with the inscription “prepaid” or “due”.
The design of some stamps is circular or octagonal. The stamps depict the coat of arms of Kolomna Uyezd. They were cancelled with ink (by crossing out) and with circular handstamps.
From 1903, the delivery fee for ordinary letters was abolished. Delivery of registered and money letters (2 kopecks), magazines and newspapers (1 kopeck per bundle) was paid.
