Russian publishers are reportedly cutting print runs and reducing new title releases following Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses, where many of their books are stored. Two sources at major retail chains told Russian business daily Kommersant that publishers are adjusting their release plans, with some opting for smaller print runs to optimize warehouse storage.
The Russian Book Union, the Association of Book Publishers of Russia, and the Association of Book Distributors estimated that over 11 million books were destroyed in the Ukrainian attacks, with most of them being fiction, children's literature, and popular science titles. Wildberries has been a target of Ukrainian strikes since mid-July, and the damage to the marketplace and its sellers has been estimated at hundreds of billions of rubles.
