Postal codes in Russia

Описание

Russian Post has a system of postal codes based on the federal subject a place is located in. Each postal code consists of six digits with first three referring to the federal subject or the administrative division with special status. Some larger subjects begin with several three-digit codes. For instance, Moscow's postal codes fall in range from 101 to 129.
Larger cities/towns have a "pochtamt", or a Main Post Office, which is assigned the main postal code for the city. For instance Moscow's Pochtamt has a postal code of 101000. One street in a big city can have several postal codes; for instance in Saint Petersburg, Kirochnaya Street has the following postal codes: 191028, 191123, 191124, 191015, 191014, which are based on house numbers.
