Publisher Oleksandr Savchuk (Ukrainian: Видавець Олександр Савчук) is a Ukrainian publishing house for Ukrainian art, architecture and ethnography, founded in Kharkiv in 2010.

History

[edit]

The publishing house was founded by the philosopher Oleksandr Savchuk in 2010 on the day of the Intercession of Mary with the mission to popularize the great names of Ukrainian science, culture and art that fell into obscurity during the Soviet Union.[1][2]

2011 the publishing house launched the series Sloboda's World (Слобожанський світ), dedicated to the cultural heritage of Sloboda Ukraine.[3]

In 2016, Oleksandr Savchuk published the Complete Academic Collection of Works (Повна академічна збірка творів) by Hryhorii Skovoroda.[4]

The publishing house continued to operate despite the constant Russian shelling of Kharkiv, which began after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.[5]

In October 2023, Savchuk opened a ‘book shelter’ (КнигоУкриття) in the centre of Kharkiv, a place where visitors can find shelter, attend events and read books.[6]

Publisher Oleksandr Savchuk received the Special Award of the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2023 for preserving cultural heritage and returning prominent names, phenomena and objects to Ukraine's cultural discourse.[7][8]
