General info :
Sojuzpushina is the business name of a Russian company active in the trade and auctioning of fur.
In 1930, the Soviet government established the All Union Fur Syndicate, the main function of which was to centralize the export of Russian furs on the market.
On October 24, 1931, the Syndicate reorganized into the All Union Fur Association «Sojuzpushnina», which monopolized the sale of Russian furs on the world market.
The first auction was organized in Leningrad in March 1931. 78 representatives of 67 foreign companies from 12 countries attended the auction.

The organization of the Leningrad fur auction was a serious competition to the fur markets of Leipzig and London, the importance of their intermediary functions has significantly decreased. The Western press of that time called for a boycott of purchases of Soviet fur and fur goods, but these campaigns did not achieve their goal, the Leningrad auction continued to gain momentum.

Since 1932, fur auctions in Leningrad began to be held twice a year – in early March and in August, and since 1935 – in March and June.

In November 1935, Sojuzpushnina actively started exporting and importing fur raw materials, tanned and dyed fur goods, and finished garments. The first buyers were such companies as «Solomon»(France), «Shakman» (Great Britain), «Torrack and Holonder» (Germany), «Samaletdin» (Sweden, Finland), «Stanford»(Great Britain), «Oscar Vigen» (Sweden) and many others.

With the approach of The Great Patriotic War, Sojuzpushnina was moved from Leningrad to Novosibirsk where it continued prepare furs for export.

From 1941 to 1945, all goods went to the USA – the share of fur purchases from the USSR was 100%.
