["Sovetskaya Kolyma" - publishing house of the NKVD Dalstroy, which existed in Magadan in 1936-1954. It produced socio-political, industrial and artistic literature.

For the design of the books, artists from prisoners serving prison terms on the Kolyma were seconded-Valentin Antoshchenko-Olenev and Isaac Sherman. The names of the artists-prisoners were not indicated on the publications they illustrated. After their release, the artists worked in the publishing house on the terms of free employment.

In the first years of its existence, the publishing house published local periodicals of a political nature (newspapers "Sovetskaya Kolyma", "Verny Put", "Orochelskaya Pravda", "Strelok VOHRa", magazines" Kolyma", " Pioneer of Kolyma", " Kolyma Almanac"), pamphlets ("Library of Stakhanovets"), orders, instructions.
