Printing plant named for V.M. Molotov, Moscow

Полиграфический комбинат В. М. Молотова, Москва

Located in Moscow at 99 Iaroslavskoe Highway, the Graphic Art Printing Plant was named for Viacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov (1890-1986), Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs. Based on Soviet-era sources, the printing plant existed at least as far back as the 1930s. During its history, the plant was a contract printer for Glavpoligrafizdat (Main Administration for Matters of Polygraphic Industry Publishing and Book Selling), and it was under the printing trusts of Soiuzpoligrafprom (All-Union Association of Printing Enterprises) and Glavpoligrafprom (Main Directorate of the Printing Industry).
