Russian Post has a system of postal codes (Russian: почтовый индекс) based on the federal subjects of Russia; there are 88 subjects in total. Each postal code consists of six digits with first three referring to the subject of Russian Federation. Some larger subjects begin with several three digit codes. For instance, Moscow will have postal codes in range from 101 to 129 (due to the size of the city).
Larger cities/towns have what they call "Pochtamt" - Main Post Office, which has the main postal code for the city, for instance Moscow's Pochtamt has a postal code 101000. One street in a big city can have several postal codes, for instance in Saint Petersburg (Postal Codes range 190 -199) Kirochnaya Ulitsa has the following postal codes: 191028, 191123, 191124, 191015, 191014 based on house numbers.
