The consonant does not soften in these cases. Andrey

Subject: [SEELANGS] Pronunciation question
In abbreviations such as госимущество (gosimushchestvo), where an
originally hard consonant is stuck to a "soft" vowel, does the consonant
soften, or do we get госымущество (gosymushchestvo) like сыскать
(syskat') and с Ываном (s Yvanom)?
TIA
