The Offset Printing Plant of the UVI (Department of Military Publishing) and MO (Ministry of Defense) was based in Moscow. While the UVI MO had its own publishing and printing sections; its printing plant also handled the literature output of Voenizdat (Military Publishers) of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR.

Voenizdat (Military Publishers) was the Military Publishing House of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR (voennoe izdatelstvo). Established in Moscow in 1919; Voenizdat published literature for the defense industry such as technical manuals and dictionaries. It also published posters, pamphlets and fiction and non-fiction literature frequently containing military themes. Voenizdat's predecessor was Litizdat, the publishing arm of the Revolutionary Military Soviet.
