Dom druku, printing house complex on Independence Avenue in Minsk, Belarus

Dom druku is a building in Minsk built in 1935 that exemplifies constructivist architecture with simple lines and functional design throughout its structure. It features large windows and clear geometric forms that emphasize practical efficiency and straightforward purpose.

Construction of the House of Press began in 1930; the publishing wing was handed over on 20 January 1934 and the whole complex was finished in 1935, housing a printing house, Belgosizdat and Belpoligraftrest. In 1942 the first issue of the underground newspaper Zvyazda was typeset here. A new editorial block followed in 1959, a gravure workshop in 1963, and in 1975 an offset printing block plus a cultural building with a 600-seat club and a 225-seat canteen.

The street beside the complex, now Surganava Street, was called Drukarskaya (Printers' Street) until 1977, taking its name from the printing house. In 1942 the first issue of the underground newspaper Zvyazda was typeset here during the German occupation. Later the building housed the publishing house of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus and the editorial offices of newspapers such as Zvyazda and Sovetskaya Belorussiya.

The complex stands at Independence Avenue 77 and 79, on the corner with Surganova Street, formerly Drucharskaya Street until 1977. The five-storey corner tower with its ground-floor loggia marks the main entrance of house 79. The Surganova Street facades carry no architectural decoration, so the avenue side is the one to face for the large window openings.

In 1942, the first issue of the underground newspaper Zvyazda was typeset in this building during the German occupation. The Surganova Street side was formerly called Drukarskaya Street, meaning Printers' Street, until 1977.
