Greif Graphischer Grossbetrieb (sold) (Greif Graphic Large Enterprise, Greif Graphischer Großbetrieb)
Greif Graphischer Grossbetrieb (fl. c. 1945 - 1956) was a state-owned printing concern in Soviet-occupied East Berlin after World War II (1939 - 1945). The firm was founded as an amalgam of formerly private presses consolidated under state control. The name, Greif (Griffen), was likely inherited from an earlier firm. It operated until about 1956, but possibly as late as the 1970s, and is best known for Soviet propaganda posters and related material.
Greif Graphischer Grossbetrieb (sold) is also known as: Greif Graphic Large Enterprise, Greif Graphischer Großbetrieb

An extraordinary discovery, this is the only known surviving example of a 1949 bird's-eye view of the Ukraine, Russia, and the Caucasus, published to illustrate Stalin's grandiose plan to terraform the Soviet steppe. This view is a cartographic amalgam of Cold War environmentalism, propaganda, scientific ambition, Soviet dogma, and large-scale terraforming. (more details)
