Warehouse holding Vivat publishing house books burns down - CEO
Vivat publishing house CEO and co-owner Yuliia Orlova said books from her publishing house were stored at a Kyiv warehouse hit in a Russian strike.
The CEO of Vivat publishing house, Yuliia Orlova, revealed that books from her publishing house were stored in a Kyiv warehouse that was destroyed in a Russian strike. Orlova expressed disappointment, stating that this loss was part of a broader misfortune. She noted that they had been taking measures to avoid having all their books in a single location, successfully relocating part of their stock to Lviv to continue their operations and restocking bookstores.
However, she also pointed out that the warehouse in Kyiv had housed many new titles and works by Ukrainian authors, as the publishing house was gearing up for the Book Country festival. Orlova's announcement of the warehouse fire now casts doubt on their participation in the festival. The CEO further disclosed that the losses were extensive, affecting not only Vivat's warehouses but also those of their partners.
The incident follows a similar event earlier on Friday, where another publisher and bookstore chain reported a warehouse containing books from their establishments and various publishers had also been targeted by a Russian attack.
