Banknote paper (Museum of Goznak)
Goznak is currently the only manufacturer of banknotes and coins in Russia, as well as state awards, medals, orders, badges, postage stamps, postcards, forms for official documents, etc. It includes: Moscow and St. Petersburg mints; factories factories in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm and Krasnokamsk; Moscow Printing House and Research Institute of Goznak.
The management of Goznak organizes production at controlled enterprises, and orders for all coins and banknotes are carried out by the Bank of Russia, which has no direct control from the state. In addition, orders for the release of other products can be carried out at the state level, or from individuals.
Officially, the enterprise is considered a joint-stock company, but all shares are owned by the Federal Agency for State Property Management, that is, in fact, it can be called state-owned. However, absolutely all products with the Goznak logo should not be mistaken for state issues. Among the coins in gift wrapping and sets, of which a great many have recently appeared, only those should be considered official, for which the Bank of Russia has completed an order. The rest are nothing more than official Goznak souvenirs.
On August 21, 1818, by decree of Alexander I, an Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers was created in St. Petersburg to replace old banknotes with new ones. Her responsibilities include making paper, designing banknotes, stamps, and producing paper money. Later, stamps, bonds, documents, etc. are printed. The equipment was adjusted by an engineer of Italian origin A. Betancourt, who became the first head of the enterprise. The building on the banks of the Fontanka River is still used for its intended purpose. The mints were then controlled by the Ministry of Finance and did not belong to the Expedition. By the beginning of the 20th century, the enterprise already included Moscow, Petrograd, Penza and Rostov printing factories.
In 1919, in connection with the preparation of the issue of the first Soviet money, the company moved to Moscow, and the name was changed to Goznak. In 1942, the Moscow Mint was formed in the buildings of Goznak in Moscow, from that time Goznak became responsible for the production of coins, and the Leningrad Mint joins it. That is, the enterprise becomes the sole producer of all money, bonds, forms of documents, stamps, badges, awards, etc.
In 2005, Goznak became a federal state unitary enterprise, and since 2008 it has been classified as a strategic enterprise. On June 5, 2014, by presidential decree, it was transformed into a joint-stock company, but all excises belong to the Federal Agency.

Currently, Goznak prints passports, notarial and other forms (there is a note about this in small print), banknotes, coins, stamps, as well as various related products for state and private orders. Money is being made for many other countries. For example, in 2014, 3,400 tons of paper and more than a billion banknotes were exported. Recently, they began to produce electronic cards for phones. The issue of postal envelopes and postcards has been discontinued.
The Research Institute of Goznak is constantly developing new means of protecting money and documents from counterfeiting, and modernizing printing technologies. Trial banknotes without denominations are issued annually, which have a colorful design and demonstrate new security features. Such samples come to various exhibitions, where they periodically become winners.

After the October Revolution, the EZGB was transformed into the Office of State Paper Procurement Factories, abbreviated as Goznak. The reform was carried out on the basis of the "Regulations on the management of factories for the preparation of Soviet state signs", which was approved by the People's Commissariat for Finance of the RSFSR on June 6, 1919.
In 1919, the Goznak board was transferred to Moscow. The Moscow, Petrograd, Penza, and then Perm and Rostov factories were subordinate to him.
In later Soviet times, the full name of Goznak sounded like the Main Directorate for the Production of State Badges, Coins and Orders, which was subordinate to the USSR Ministry of Finance. Goznak united paper and printing factories, mints.
Postage signs
The signs of postage printed at the enterprises of Goznak were trained in DIEZPO. At the same time, the printing enterprises of Goznak printed not only all Soviet postal signs, but also fulfilled orders for a number of foreign countries. The Moscow Printing Factory of Goznak (MPFG) was responsible for issuing postage stamps; On an experimental basis, several series of stamps (TsFA (ITC "Marka") # 3815-3819, 4536-4540 and some others) were printed at the Moscow Printing House of Goznak (MTG). Whole things, including single-sided postcards with original stamps, were printed at MTG, MPFG, as well as at the Perm Printing Factory of Goznak.
Forms of documents
The enterprises of Goznak printed forms of Soviet documents. Among them, forms of documents on the formation of a single state sample (matriculation certificates, diplomas, etc.) were made using a special color rendering technology to exclude fakes. They looked like a single typographically made, double-folding form in a thick cardboard cover. All forms were documents of special storage and issuance, they had an individual number.
The enterprise was founded by the decision of the State Council of Russia at the end of the summer of 1818 in St. Petersburg as the Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers (ESGB) under the Ministry of Finance. Augustine Betancourt (1758-1824) took an active part in the construction and work of the EZGB in the early years.
