The first book supermarket in Ukraine
Many of the Kharkiv residents know and love the building at 1. Poltavskiy shlyakh, 1. However, few people know the fact that it was in this beautiful mansion that the first book supermarket in Ukraine was once located.
In the late 19th – early 20th centuries, the publishing house of Alexei Sergeevich Suvorin was the leader in the book trade of the entire Russian Empire. Contemporaries knowingly called Suvorin a “book magnate” – Aleksey Sergeevich ran his own printing house, a network of bookstores (including those abroad), a newspaper, and had a monopoly on trade in publishing products (newspapers, magazines, cheap books, postcards) on the railways and marinas.
After the opening of Novoye Vremya bookstores in Moscow and St. Petersburg in 1878, Suvorin opened his third store in Kharkov in 1885.
Advertising of that time gives every reason to judge that Suvorin’s Kharkov store was a kind of book supermarket, where you could buy absolutely everything.
Numerous buyers from Kharkov and the southern provinces were attracted not only by the largest assortment of books and magazines, but also by the fact that the store was replenished weekly with new products, as well as a system of discounts. Subsequently, similar stores were opened in Odessa, Saratov and Rostov-on-Don.
The first experimental printing house will produce for you books and other printing products of the best quality. Call us for consultation☎️.
