History
[edit]
Vladimir Lenin signed a decree on 14 June 1921 titled "Law on Acquiring and Distributing Foreign Literature", that established a Russian – German joint stock company called "Kniga" in Berlin. This company was dedicated to the import and export of books and other literature. In 1922 its Moscow branch office was established under the name "Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga" MK. On 11 April 1923, this company was converted into a "Joint Stock Corporation".[1][2]
