Sovetsky Kompozitor

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

On August 8, 1930 RSFSR Sovnarkom established the state publishing monopoly, OGIZ (ОГИЗ, Объединение государственных книжно-журнальных издательств, Union of the State Book and Magazine Publishers), subordinated to Sovnarkom. Its core was Gosizdat. Other union republics followed the pattern.

During the era of centralization the names of the most of them contained the acronym "гиз" ("giz") standing for "государственное издательство" (gosudarstvennoye izdatelstvo, i.e., "State Publisher", S.P.).

As of January 1, 1930 there were 995 publishers in the RSFSR alone.
