Months after a Russian missile tore through the ceiling of the Konvi print shop in July, burned pages of fourth-grade English textbooks still littered the floor and paper sat frozen inside the destroyed printing machine. According to Associated Press before the attack, millions of books a year were printed in this space, where there’s now nothing but piles of swollen book stock, ruined after firefighters put out the blaze. The print shop specialized in fiction, educational material and scientific literature. The premises were damaged, machines were destroyed and “a huge amount” of books were ruined, including textbooks that were meant to be sent to schools the very next day, Viktoriia Haidai, the shop’s commercial director, said.
Replacing the printing press will cost 1.2 million euros and it will take four to five years to fully restore capacity, according to Haidai. Russia is striking shops like hers, she said, because “we are a critical infrastructure, because we shape the future — we work on education, on culture. We work to preserve history." "Without this, no nation has a future," she stressed. Ukraine’s publishing industry is facing its worst crisis yet, driven by targeted Russian attacks — part of a broader culture war in which nearly 5,000 cathedrals, churches, museums, theaters and other cultural sites have been destroyed or damaged and 35,000 art objects looted. More than 13 million books — a third of the country’s annual print run — were destroyed in two months this summer, causing at least $39.3 million in damage, the Ministry of Culture said. At least 40 publishing houses and multiple bookstores have suffered damage in recent weeks.
