Russian Orthodox Church is starting issuing stamps, etc.?
See below:
"Русская православная
церковь начнет выпуск
марок, конвертов,
открыток и прочей
почтовой и
филателистической
продукции на
православную тему.
Соответствующий
договор о
сотрудничестве был
заключен между
синодальным отделом
Московского
патриархата по
взаимоотношениям
церкви и общества и ООО
"Церковная почта". "

The question is... what is it?... Will it be considered as official postage according to UPU rules, etc. I am not an expert in this area, it is just
puzzled me...
Can somebody put this stamp as a postage and it will arrive to US without "postage due" cancel?

It's a little besides the point, but I have never seen "postage due" on modern US mail. I had my mail returned for insufficient postage only. How they
actually collect postage due? It should be pretty costly!

ООО "Церковная почта" has no agreement with
Russian Postal Service and I beleive it just misinformed church.
USPS does not check franking. Russian post pays for every mail item when passes mail to USPS. I had received letters franked with Nagorny Karabakh
stamps.
