Pragmatika reports that Faktor-Druk has been completely restored. When the shelling occurred seven workers of the printing house were killed, and another 21 people were injured. They quote Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko:
“A year ago, Russian shelling destroyed a printing house in Kharkiv. I remember Serhiy Polituchy bringing burnt children's books - the same ones my daughter reads - and it just broke my heart. I still keep them as a reminder of Russia's attacks on our culture.”
Svyridenko notes that Faktor Druk was restored thanks to the support of American businessman Howard Buffett — he was the first to offer his help when Ukraine was looking for opportunities after the attack. The printing house partially resumed its work in September last year.
The Kyiv Independent reports that the attack destroyed more than 50,000 books and vital printing equipment. Faktor Druk is part of the Faktor Group, which includes Vivat, Ukraine's third-largest publishing house. It is one of the largest full-cycle printing complexes in Europe.
