Belorusskoe Optiko-Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie
The Belorusskoe Optiko-Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie, commonly
abbreviated to BelOMO, was the Belarus Optical & Mechanical Acssociation,
founded in 1971 Minsk (Belarus), at that time part of the Soviet Union (USSR).
It is a continuation of the Minskiy Mechanicheschkiy Zavod (MMZ) — the
mechanical factory of Minsk — that was opened in Minsk in 1957 and was named
after the Soviet physicist Sergey Ivanovich Vavilov [1].
BelOMO still exists as a company today (2017) [3].
At the time, BelOMO had several factories throughout the USSR, each with its
own specialism and branding. The logo above is the most common one, that was
used by the MMZ plant in Minsk. It is often found on civil cameras of the
era, but also on some special (covert) optical instruments.
