Progress Publishers

Formed by the decree of 10 August 1963 from the humanities departments of the Foreign Languages Publishing House and the Foreign Literature Publishing House (some sources date its start to 1964). Progress issued the standard English editions of Marx, Engels and Lenin, including the Lenin Collected Works and — jointly with Lawrence & Wishart and International Publishers — the Marx/Engels Collected Works. Its fiction list was split off as Raduga Publishers in 1982. In 1991 it became a closed joint-stock company, the Progress Publishing Group, whose successors include Progress-Tradition (1997) and Progress-Pleiada (2001).
