This card is correctly charged at 2 roubles in accord with the RSFSR Foreign tariff of 30 September 1920, which abolished the Free Post for ordinary mail sent abroad. The Kerensky card is used as a Blank in accordance with the invalidation of 1 January 1919. A German Postage Due mark PORTO KONTROLLE has been applied and "80" inserted manually and repeated in blue on the card. However, the card is correctly franked and both the cachet and the "80" in blue have been crossed through with red crayon. Alexander Epstein records only a few known examples of the 2 rouble postcard rate, most mail abroad in 1920 - 21 was sent registered
