They read "Devils", Orwell and Zelensky. Book publishers about the problems of the industry
Written by Mykola KravchenkoVesti.ua spoke with specialists in the field about whether books are printed in Ukraine today, to what extent their production has fallen into the war in the country, why book prices are rising and what price tags bookstores will meet us in September. And also about how a single signature of the president can help Ukrainian book producers and about which book with Zelensky on the cover breaks all records.

Yesterday in Moscow, during the Army-2022 military-technical forum and international security conference, the military leadership of the Russian Federation demonstrated a mock-up of a Ukrainian classroom with samples of particularly dangerous items - Ukrainian books and textbooks.
It was a pleasure for me and our Educational Literature team of Ranok publishing house to learn what the invaders are afraid of. Therefore, the authors of the History of Ukraine textbook for the 11th grade, Gisem, Martyniuk, can be proud and already working on the next cycle of books.
It is very inspiring that ammunition depots in "Russian" Crimea exploded on the very day of the security conference. There is a possibility that those who read Ukrainian books and create modern History of Ukraine right now helped the explosions.
Professional. But not only for publishers and authors.
1. three events took place recently, which affected the book market in general and specifically the activities of the Folio publishing house, which I have been wanting for 32 years.
It is about the President's failure to sign the law banning the creation of books from the Russian Federation and other measures to support the book market; a significant change in the exchange rate and in general the currency behavior of the state; and the inclusion of Russian missiles in one of Kharkiv's book printers.
