      previouslyVálka proti slovu. Rusko v létě zničilo třetinu roční ukrajinské produkce knih

      Rusko pokračuje v devastaci ukrajinského kulturního dědictví. V poslední době zesílilo útoky na válkou již tak ohrožený knižní trh – během léta zničilo ve skladech či tiskárnách třetinu roční produkce ukrajinských nakladatelů včetně velké části učebnic. Představitelé odvětví varují před kolapsem sektoru, který by Ukrajině vzal právo mluvit vlastním hlasem.

      Téměř 12 milionů ukrajinských knih shořelo kvůli ruským útokům. Za prázdniny tak Rusko zdevastovalo třetinu knih vytištěných v tomto roce. Útokům se nevyhnuly ani školní učebnice. Asi 1,5 milionu výtisků shořelo v červenci a 10 milionů v srpnu. Rusku se podařilo zničit celý náklad učebnic pro některé předměty. Prázdniny jsou pravděpodobně nejhoršími měsíci v historii ukrajinského knižního trhu.

      Wegen verstärkter Luftangriffe musste die Kiewer Buchmesse in diesem Jahr abgesagt werden. Russland zerstört Bücher aber auch direkt - durch Raketen auf Lagerhallen. Für viele ein gezielter Angriff auf die ukrainische Kultur. Von F. Kellermann.

      As Russian strikes destroy millions of books, Ukraine's literary future hangs in the balance

      KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Seconds before the Russian drone struck, Viktor Kruglov was thinking about textbooks — tens of thousands of them, and how to get them to Ukrainian schools faster.

    • Kyiv Post (Ukraine)14:35

      Russia’s campaign against Ukrainian books has a long history – from bans on publishing to modern attacks on the country’s publishing infrastructure. In the summer of 2026 alone, at least 9.65 million books were destroyed. For Ukraine, this is not only an economic loss but a threat to its cultural ecosystem.
