Politisdat

Also known as Gospolitizdat, Publishing house of political literature

Politizdat is the primary party publishing house of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). It held a dominant position in the production and dissemination of ideological, Marxist-Leninist, and propagandistic literature throughout much of the Soviet era. In quantitative terms, Politizdat was consistently the most "mass" publisher in the Soviet Union, with print runs that far outstripped those of other publishing houses.
