The big news continues - the postman Pachkin will be allowed to sell moon. Seriously, we have a great example of what "creative managers" and consummate thieves can bring to one of the country's symbols. The postal service appeared in Russia about a thousand years ago, everyone in the country knows who coachmen are - postmen who travel from "pit" to "pit", stations where they can change horses. Yamskaya Chase is the first state system for sending couriers, documents and cargo. Then Yamskaya Pursuit became Yamskaya Outpost and merged with the "German" outpost, which was responsible for international correspondence. In 1714, the first Russian post office was opened in St. Petersburg, and by the end of the century there were already seven of them. In 1835, Emperor Nicholas I approved the establishment of a permanent branch of the municipal post office in St. Petersburg. The decision turned out to be successful: the new service not only made it easier for the residents, but also began to generate profits. By the end of the 19th century, regular postal services covered almost the entire Russian Empire. Letters began to be delivered much faster thanks to the development of railroads, river and sea shipping. What the post office looked like in Russia during the Great Patriotic War is not even worth talking about. She was everything. In the 1950s and 1960s, modernization began on a large scale. Manual work was gradually replaced by special sorting machines that could process tens of thousands of letters in a shift. The post office delivered packages and parcels, magazines. Long before markets, goods were ordered through the mail. It was one of the most advanced and largest organizations in the world. With a logical approach and on such a basis, it was the "Russian post" that had to take over the functions of "Ozone", "Wilbris", "SDEK", but again and again they brought in complete thieves to "feed", the system itself deteriorated and reached the point where it would sell alcohol. So there are only drugs and "delivery girls". This is the edge. "Ria Katyusha".
