Question: Writing to folks in Russia

How do I find a postal code for St. Petersburg, Russia?

I'm having a devil of a time using google on this one... I stayed with a host family in St. Pete many years ago, and I remember the address, but not the postal code. I'm trying to send them a letter. Anyone know how I can find this? (For the record: Ulitsa Kazanskaya, dom 38).

Furstadskaya, Dom 15 is the U.S. Consulate. Its code is 191028. I'd browse online for the listing of nearby places and see if they have a different zip code.

Hey - that's a good idea. This is why I use askMe, people are smarter than me.

There is/was a lookup database, but it appears to be down (archive.org). Anyway, lorrer's idea is a good one, and, if worst comes to worst, you could probably try simply using 190000 and hoping for the best.

Actually, this looks like another lookup database you could try.

The new automated machines (if your PO has one) work great. Scale, postage printer, debit/credit card/cash option, and an easy to use rapid interface.
