Abstract
The purpose of the article was to recreate, on the basis of various sources, the history of the formation and functioning of one of the largest publishing houses of newspaper and magazine periodicals in the USSR – the State Journal and Newspaper Association (Zhurgaz) in 1931-1938. The state journal and newspaper association arose during the reorganization of the publishing business in the USSR in 1931 on the basis of the Ogonyok Mixed Joint Stock Publishing company. The structure of Zhurgaz included all the printed editions of the Ogonyok Publishing Society, as well as publications of voluntary societies and literary and political organizations. The differentiated approach of the publishing house was expressed in the release of accessible, mass publications for various categories of readers, which corresponded to the general propaganda tasks facing the press in the historical period under consideration. The study made it possible to identify the groups of periodicals of Zhurgaz: a technical group of publications, a general (political) group, a book group and a foreign group. By 1938 Zhurgaz published 33 magazines, newspapers and libraries with a total annual circulation of about 45,000,000 copies. Many publications continued to exist, and after the dissolution of Zhurgaz in 1938, they appeared in other publishing houses, becoming a brand of domestic journalism. A special place in the organizational structure of Zhurgaz was occupied by the Foreign Sector, whose functions included: attracting new periodicals in foreign languages to work with the publishing house; establishing close ties with foreign organizations and individual workers of the revolutionary press. The article also touches on the process of forming a unified system of Soviet periodicals, which went from a variety of types of publications to their gradual unification. The system of publishing houses gradually, in the course of the stateization of the press, became an integral part of the party-state apparatus, and the press acquired agitation and propaganda significance.
