History

Muzykalny fond SSSR, or Muzfond SSSR (the musical foundation of USSR; in Russian: Музыкальный фонд СССР; Музфонд СССР) was founded in 1939. It was connected with the Soviet Composers Union.

It started publishing music in 1940s and seems to remain an independent publisher till the collapse of the USSR. Hence, it is not a part of Muzgiz. In early 1950s it produced some vocal scores of operas and operettas by Soviet composers as well as piano scores of ballets.

There were also separate departments of Muzfond in the republics of the USSR (e.g. in Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia etc.).
