Detskaya Literatura (Russian: Детская литература, romanized: Detskaja literatura, lit. "Children's Literature"), formerly Detgiz and Detizdat, is a Soviet and Russian publishing house for children's literature. It was established on September 9, 1933 by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on the basis of Molodaya Gvardiya's children's imprint.
The company was initially called Detgiz (Russian: ДЕТГИЗ, Детское государственное издательство, romanized: Detskoe gosudarstvennoe izdatelstvo, lit. "The State Children's Publishing House").[1] The company had offices in Moscow and Leningrad. The first chief editor was Samuil Marshak. In 1933 Detgiz published 168 titles. In 1937 the headquarters of Detgiz was destroyed, some employees (such as Lydia Chukovskaya) were fired, others were arrested, imprisoned or executed by a firing squad.
The publisher's name was changed numerous times, from Detgiz (1933) to DETIZDAT (1936) to Detgiz again (1941) to Detskaya Literatura (1963). In 1991 the publishing house was divided into the Moscow department, called Detskaya Literatura, and the Saint Petersburg department, called Lyceum or "Lyceum: The State Republican Publishing House for Children and Youth Literature" (Russian: Государственное республиканское издательство детской и юношеской литературы „Лицей“, romanized: Gosudarstvennoe respublikanskoe izdatelstvo detskoj i junosheskoj literatury „Litsej“), which later became DETGIZ.[1]
In the 1980s, the publishing house "Children's Literature" was a republican publishing house directly subordinate to the RSFSR State Committee for Publishing. In 1979-1990 the indicators of the publishing activity of the publishing house were as follows:
