The company was initially called Detgiz (Russian: ДЕТГИЗ, Детское государственное издательство, tr. 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“, tr. Gosudarstvennoe respublikanskoe izdatelstvo detskoj i junosheskoj literatury „Litsej“), which later became DETGIZ.[1]

gollark: It only works because zstandard happens to somehow store said compressed length.
gollark: The best bit is how it doesn't actually know the compressed length of things because that would be annoying to implement.
gollark: Anyway, this archive format is perfect and without flaw.
gollark: I mean, except the magic number, which is there for convenience.
