In 1870, the Zemstvo post of Kolomna Uyezd (Moscow Governorate) was opened. Mail was sent from the uyezd center, the town of Kolomna, along the Sukovo and Malino routes once a week. Private correspondence was forwarded upon payment of a 5-kopeck fee.

From 1871, Zemstvo postage stamps were introduced. They were divided into “prepaid” (red) and “due” (blue).

From 1889, stamps in denominations of 1, 2, 3, and 5 kopecks were issued with the inscription “prepaid” or “due”.

The design of some stamps was circular or octagonal. The stamps depict the coat of arms of Kolomna Uyezd. They were canceled in ink (by crossing out) and with circular handstamps.

From 1903, the fee for delivering ordinary letters was abolished. Delivery of registered and money letters was paid (2 kopecks), as well as magazines and newspapers (1 kopeck per bundle).
