PRODUCT INFO PARAGUAY 1960'S POSTAGE COLLECTIBLES
The history of mail and postage stamps of Paraguay covers the development of postal communications in Paraguay, an independent (since 1811) state in the central part of South America, with its capital in Asuncion. Since 1870, the Republic of Paraguay has been issuing its own postage stamps and since 1881 has been a member of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). The postal operator in the country is the National Post Office of Paraguay.
Postal development
Between 1769 and 1811, an internal postal service operated in Paraguay, organized by the Spanish colonial administration. Mail traveled from Buenos Aires via Santa Fe and Corrientes to Candelaria and Asuncion.
The first stamps that were in postal circulation in Paraguay were the postage stamps of Argentina, used during the War of the Triple Alliance in the period 1868-1869. They can be identified by the imprints of the cancellation postmarks.
The accession of the country to the UPU took place on July 1, 1881.
Since 1911, the Republic of Paraguay has been a member of the Postal Union of the American States and Spain (Spanish: Unión Postal de las Américas y España, abbreviated UPAE), currently the Postal Union of the American States, Spain and Portugal (UPAEP).
On October 1, 1937, Spain introduced the American-Spanish Reply Coupon (Cupón-respuesta americoespañol). It was distributed in UPAE countries, including Paraguay, until February 29, 1956.
Until 2010, postal services in the country were provided by Correo Paraguayo (“Paraguay Post”), after which the postal service was transferred to the National Post Office of Paraguay (Dirección Nacional de Correos del Paraguay, abbreviated as DINACOPA).
First stamps On August 1, 1870, the Republic of Paraguay issued its first postage stamps (in denominations of 1, 2 and 3 reales), made by lithographic method R. Lange (R. Lange) in Buenos Aires. The stamps depicted the coat of arms of Paraguay - a lion standing on its hind legs, raising a republican hat. The estimate of the series according to the Yver catalog is about 330 euros.
Airmail
Paraguay's first airmail stamps entered circulation in 1929. These stamps bear the inscription: "Correo aéreo" ("Airmail").
Examples of Paraguay airmail stamps 1931: artillery boat "Paraguay" (Mi #370)

Additional payment POSTAGE
Paraguay stamps were issued between 1904 and 1914, bearing the inscription: "Franqueo deficiente" ("Delivery of Unpaid Letters"). In total, 12 postage stamps were sent into circulation[3]. Service
Paraguay Post also issued service stamps between 1886 and 1940. The inscription on such stamps reads: "Official". A total of 97 such stamps were issued.
Some service issues were overprinted "Habilitado" ("Indeed") for general postal use. For the province
In Paraguay, special stamps were issued for postal items sent from the capital of the state to the regions, with an overprint "C" ("For the province"). Telegraph Issues of telegraph stamps of Paraguay are also known, including 1892.

he Soviet Union (Russian: Сове́тский Сою́з, tr. Sovétsky
Soyúz, IPA: [sɐˈvʲɛt͡skʲɪj sɐˈjus] (About this sound listen)),
officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Russian: Сою́з
Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик, tr. Soyúz Sovétskikh
Sotsialistícheskikh Respúblik, IPA: [sɐˈjus sɐˈvʲɛtskʲɪx
sətsɨəlʲɪsˈtʲitɕɪskʲɪx rʲɪˈspublʲɪk] (About this sound listen)),
abbreviated as the USSR (Russian: СССР, tr. SSSR), was a socialist state
in Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991. Nominally a union of
multiple national Soviet republics,[a] its government and economy were
highly centralized. The country was a one-party state, governed by the
Communist Party with Moscow as its capital in its largest republic, the
Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. Other major urban centres
were Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Tashkent and Novosibirsk. The Soviet Union
was one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states and possessed the
largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.[7] It was a founding
permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, as well as a
member of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
(OSCE) and the leading member of the Council for Mutual Economic
Assistance (CMEA) and the Warsaw Pact.
The Soviet Union had its
roots in the October Revolution of 1917, when the Bolsheviks, led by
Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the Russian Provisional Government which had
replaced Tsar Nicholas II during World War I. In 1922, after a civil
war, the Soviet Union was formed with the unification of the Russian,
Transcaucasian, Ukrainian and Byelorussian republics. Following Lenin's
death in 1924 and a brief power struggle, Joseph Stalin came to power in
the mid-1920s. Under Stalin's leadership, the Soviet Union transitioned
from a market economy into a centrally planned economy which led to a
period of rapid industrialization and collectivization. As industrial
production skyrocketed, the Soviet Union achieved full employment,
implemented a universal healthcare system, sharply reduced illiteracy,
and provided guarantees of paid vacations, rest homes, and recreational
clubs. This period of industrialization was a time of enormous
improvements in the standard of living for millions of people in the
country, starkly contrasting with the situations of other countries
during the Great Depression, but was also a time characterized by major
institutional shortcomings and failures. In the 1930s, with the rise of
fascism in Europe, the Communist Party pursued aggressive campaigns to
suppress potential counter-revolution, fermenting political paranoia
which culminated in the Great Purge in which extrajudicial arrests and
executions of suspected counter-revolutionaries led to an estimated
600,000 deaths. As a result of these mass arrests, penal labor through
the Gulag system was used to construct infrastructure projects, though
this consistently proved to be an inefficient system throughout its
existence.[8] Increased demand for agricultural products to pay for
industrialization combined with a relatively low harvest yield led to
the famine of 1932–33 in which an estimated 2.4 to 4 million people died
in the country's agricultural centers of Ukraine, southern Russia, and
Kazakhstan.[9][10]
After the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany,
Stalin tried repeatedly to form an anti-fascist alliance with other
European countries. However, finding no support, shortly before World
War II, the Soviet Union became the last major country to sign a treaty
with Germany with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, after which the two
countries invaded Poland in September 1939. In June 1941, the pact
collapsed as Germany invaded the Soviet Union, opening the largest and
bloodiest theatre of war in history. Soviet war casualties accounted for
the highest proportion of the conflict in the effort of acquiring the
upper hand over Axis forces at intense battles such as Stalingrad and
Kursk. The territories overtaken by the Red Army became satellite states
of the Soviet Union; the postwar division of Europe into capitalist and
communist halves would lead to increased tensions with the West, led by
the United States.
The Cold War emerged by 1947, as the Eastern
Bloc, united under the Warsaw Pact in 1955, confronted the Western Bloc,
united under NATO in 1949. On 5 March 1953, Stalin died and was quickly
succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev, who in 1956 denounced Stalin and began
the De-Stalinization of Soviet society through the Khrushchev Thaw. The
Soviet Union took an early lead in the Space Race, with the first
artificial satellite and the first human spaceflight. Khrushchev was
removed from power by his colleagues in 1964 and was succeeded as head
of state by Leonid Brezhnev. In the 1970s, there was a brief détente of
relations with the United States, but tensions resumed with the
Soviet–Afghan War in 1979. In the mid-1980s, the last Soviet leader,
Mikhail Gorbachev, sought to reform and liberalize the economy through
his policies of glasnost (government transparency) and perestroika
(openness, restructuring). Under Gorbachev, the role of the Communist
Party in governing the state was removed from the constitution, causing a
surge of severe political instability to set in. The Cold War ended
during his tenure, and in 1989, Soviet satellite states in Eastern
Europe overthrew their respective communist governments.
With the
rise of strong nationalist and separatist movements inside the union
republics, Gorbachev tried to avert a dissolution of the Soviet Union in
the post-Cold War era. A March 1991 referendum, boycotted by some
republics, resulted in a majority of participating citizens voting in
favor of preserving the union as a renewed federation. Gorbachev's power
was greatly diminished after Russian President Boris Yeltsin played a
high-profile role in facing down an abortive August 1991 coup d'état
attempted by Communist Party hardliners. On 25 December 1991, Gorbachev
resigned and the remaining twelve constituent republics emerged as
independent post-Soviet states. The Russian Federation—formerly the
Russian SFSR—assumed the Soviet Union's rights and obligations and is
recognized as the successor state of the Soviet Union.[11][12][13] In
summing up the international ramifications of these events, Vladislav
Zubok stated: "The collapse of the Soviet empire was an event of epochal
geopolitical, military, ideological and economic significance.
