Veteran Oleksiy Beshulya is back again at the frontline.
On November 20, Oleksiy celebrated 3 years since the foundation of his publishing house “Propala Gramota”.
He recently won the #VARTO competition from the Ukrainian Veteran Foundation of the Ministry of Veterans for its development and now he is sure that “soon the publishing house will start to delight customers with new books, and most importantly, with new meanings that were born out of the war.”
Oleksiy was born in Donetsk region. In 2014, when Russia invaded Ukraine, he volunteered to fight for his country. He says about the idea of founding a publishing house:
“I have always loved books, even during the war I carried a dozen books with me in a trunk, later the hobby turned into a business…”.
Oleksiy says that books influence society’s education level:
“Our books raise awareness of citizens about the history of military affairs, the struggles of different peoples for freedom. We publish books that were written by Ukrainian warriors, particularly those that have fallen in the fight against Russia prior to the full-scale invasion.”
By the way, the publishing house is currently running a permanent campaign “Hang books for the troops”.
Anyone willing can buy a book and the team will hand over such gifts to various units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations. Currently, “Propala Gramota” needs support in order to resume full-fledged work and they need resources for their good cause.
Therefore, with the support of the UVF, the publishing house will be able to ensure the printing of books that were already made and of those that were partially printed before the start of the full-scale invasion, as well as new editions of the publishing house’s most popular titles.
The team believes that by printing novelties and bestsellers, the publishing will be able to restore full operation in the field of direct sales and improve wholesale distribution
