Nizhny Novgorod Children's Publishing House was on the brink of closure after drone attacks.

      On August 25, 2026, 19:19 Economy The Nizhny Novgorod children's publishing house "Rabbits and Books" found itself on the brink of closure after heavy losses: a significant portion of its book print runs burned in the warehouses of the marketplace. The situation was reported on social media by the company's founder, Anton Kozlov. According to the entrepreneur, the blow to the publishing house was devastating precisely because of the loss of books. Millions of rubles worth of print runs were destroyed by fire in the Wildberries warehouses. Moreover, the last large batch—813 copies—was also affected, which were located in Koledino. After this, the company completely ceased operations with WB. Kozlov claims that the publishing house has not yet received compensation for the burned books: instead of concrete solutions from customer support, only formal responses come. The situation was further aggravated by the fact that "Rabbits and Books" books, according to the publisher, began to be sold on AliExpress without the consent of the rights holders. The company is currently trying to stay afloat through its own online store, but restoring sales is extremely difficult. Kozlov admits: product listings on marketplaces were promoted for years, and after the print runs burned, quickly replacing this channel is practically impossible. Against the backdrop of these losses, the publishing house has already begun receiving offers for a complete sale of the business—along with rights, licenses, and remaining inventory. However, the founder himself perceives such a prospect painfully. The NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
