Publishing houses in the Soviet Union#Gostekhizdat

Publishing houses in the Soviet Union were a series of publishing enterprises which existed in the Soviet Union.

Centralization

{{anchor|OGIZ}}On 8 August 1930, the Sovnarkom of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) established the state publishing monopoly, OGIZ ({{lang|ru|ОГИЗ}}, {{lang|ru|Объединение государственных книжно-журнальных издательств}}, Union of the State Book and Magazine Publishers), subordinated to {{lang|ru|Sovnarkom}}. At its core was the former {{lang|ru|Gosizdat}}. Other union republics followed the same pattern.

During the era of centralization{{when?|date=February 2019}} the names of the most publishers contained the acronym "{{lang|ru|гиз}}" ("giz") standing for "{{lang|ru|государственное издательство}}" ({{lang|ru|gosudarstvennoye izdatelstvo}}, i.e., "State Publisher", S.P.).
