On December 21, the State University of Management (SUM) hockey team, along with the Stankin team, held a special pre-New Year's training session for visually impaired children from the Fortuna adaptive hockey team as part of the Moscow Student Hockey League's "Good Hockey" project.

Fun relay races were organized for the young hockey players, and a skating Santa Claus created a festive atmosphere.

Each participant received commemorative gifts from the State University of Management, but the main gift was the communication, attention, and support of their senior comrades.

For the GUU team players, this meeting has already become a good tradition—they came to see the guys for the third time.

Team defenseman Yegor Pridanov shared his impressions: "Pre-New Year's training with the adaptive hockey team has become a real tradition for me—this is my third time coming here. The children are the most touching—their emotions are unfaithful. At times like these, you simply catch yourself thinking that this is precisely why it's worth coming again and again—to give them joy, attention, and support. I believe events like these should be held as often as possible, because they help children believe in themselves and feel part of a larger hockey family."

Our university is truly delighted to be part of this kind and meaningful event. Projects like "Kind Hockey" demonstrate the true power of sport—a power that unites, inspires, and gives hope. We thank the Fortuna hockey team for their annual trust and the opportunity to share their warmth.

The "Good Hockey" project clearly demonstrates that sport goes far beyond competition. It is a tool for integration, development, and boundless joy, capable of creating a true New Year's miracle.

December 22nd marks the anniversary of the first postage stamp in Russia. It was on this day in 1857 that the Postal Department of the Russian Empire issued a circular "On the Introduction of Postage Stamps for General Use," effective from the New Year, and the first stamps went on sale.

The First Postage Stamps: The Most Beautiful in the World

The 10-kopek stamp is considered Russia's first postage stamp, symbolizing a new stage in the development of the postal system. Philatelists have recognized these stamps as the most beautiful two-color stamps in the world.

The first copies were produced in St. Petersburg based on samples personally approved by Alexander II on October 20, 1857. They were printed on white, stiff, hand-made paper with a watermark in the form of the number "1."

The stamp's center featured a blue oval with the Postal Department's emblem in white relief—crossed post horns and a double-headed eagle. Around the oval was a brown frame with the inscription "postage stamp" and the denomination "10 kopecks per lot." The stamp also featured the emperor's mantle and crown, emphasizing its status and importance.

The first stamp had a print run of 3 million copies, but due to perforation issues, the first examples were issued imperforate. This added to their uniqueness and historical value.

The evolution of postage stamps in Russia

Since then, postage stamps in Russia have undergone numerous changes. The first RSFSR stamps appeared in 1918, and their design was radically different from their predecessors. Artist Rihards Zarins created a stamp depicting a hand cutting a chain, symbolizing liberation and new ideals. These stamps were issued in two colors: blue, valued at 35 kopecks, and brown, valued at 70 kopecks.

In August 1923, the world saw the first postage stamps from the USSR, dedicated to the First All-Russian Agricultural and Handicraft-Industrial Exhibition. These stamps reflected a new era and the country's commitment to development.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia once again faced the need to create new postage stamps. On January 14, 1992, the first stamps of the Russian Federation, dedicated to the XVI Winter Olympic Games in Albertville, entered circulation. They became a symbol of a new stage in Russia's history and its return to the international arena.

The meaning of postage stamps

Postage stamps are more than just a means of payment for postal services; they are also an important element of cultural heritage. They reflect historical events, cultural and social changes, and serve as a means of self-expression and art. Stamp collecting (philately) has become a popular hobby that unites people around the world.

Even in the 21st century, postage stamps continue to be a symbol of communication, uniting people and cultures regardless of time and distance.
