In 1918 the factory was transferred under the wing of the People's Commissariat for Education and became known as the State Porcelain Factory (GFZ). In 1925 the Russian Academy of Sciences celebrated its 200th anniversary. In honour of this event the enterprise was named after the great Russian scientist M. V. Lomonosov, and the factory became known as LFZ. In the pre-war years the first art laboratory in the country was created in the USSR, headed by N. Suetin, one of the students of K. Malevich. The artists and sculptors were joined by A. Vorobyevsky, I. Riznich, A. Yatskevich, L. Blak, L. Protopopova. N. Ya. Danko continued her brilliant creative work. Wares produced at the Leningrad Porcelain Factory in the Soviet years can be seen in the largest museums of the world, such as the Hermitage, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and in many other museums and private collections.
