It was founded by decision of the local council of deputies on August 22, 1922 as a printing house of the newspaper Trudovoy Don, while providing for the printing of other city newspapers. Printing equipment was very primitive - one low-power one-sided newspaper-rotational machine with a format of 110 × 65 cm, giving up to 8 thousand copies of newspapers per hour. In addition to newspaper equipment, the printing house had a small fleet of flat-printing machines.
In 1923, the Molot publishing house and printing house were transferred to a new building on 11 Engels Street (modern Bolshaya Sadovaya ), where, in addition to the existing printing equipment, the first Soviet-made Pioneer flat-printing machines were installed.

In addition to the main newspaper, the Molot Publishing House included the Sovetsky Plowman newspaper, the Bolshevik Smena youth newspaper, the Leninsky grandchildren children's magazine, the Rabbselkor Way magazine, and, since 1926, the Sovetsky Yug newspaper. In the same year, on the initiative of the Komsomol committee, the football team of the Molot enterprise was created, which took part in the championship of the city and consisted of employees of the printing house and publishing house.
In 1929-1930, construction began on a new five-story industrial and administrative complex on Budennovsky Prospekt (Building 37). By 1934, construction was completed, the building had a roof with a garden, air mail was equipped, a teletype Kleinshmidt was installed, a conference room for 300 people, a dining room and a kitchen for 400-500 dinners, a gas shelter were installed, the Soviet two-role rotary machine of the Rybinsk polygraph plant with stereotyped equipment was commissioned , line typing machines "Linotype" and the matrix press of the company "MAN" for typesetting shop.
In 1936-1937, “Hammer” became the main printing and newspaper complex of the Rostov region and began printing the newspaper “ Pravda ” and “ Izvestia ”.

In 1943, after the liberation of the city due to the damage suffered during the occupation, the production moved to a temporary premises on Voroshilovsky Prospekt.
