Soyuzpechat

Soyuzpechat (Russian: Союзпечать) was a Soviet-era government agency and network of organizations and enterprises for the distribution of periodicals, first under the People's Commissariat for Communications and then under the Ministry of Communications of the Soviet Union. Since 1965, the specialized Central Philatelic Agency "Soyuzpechat" operated within the structure of this department, responsible for the preparation and distribution of philatelic materials and literature. Throughout its history, its divisions were organizationally subordinate to the following organizations:

• The Central Agency of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (Tsentropechat; 1918–1921)
• The All-Union Association Soyuzpechat (1930–1932)
• The Central Administration for Print Distribution Soyuzpechat (1932–1953)
• The Main Administration for Print Distribution Soyuzpechat (1953–1987)
• The Central Retail and Subscription Agency Soyuzpechat (1987–1994).

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soyuzpechat system was reorganized and came under the control of the Rospechat Agency.
