Around 2 500 000 copies were sold under his management.

Laboratory has a portfolio of hundreds published books and aimed to launch more than 100 titles per year: 60% nonfiction and 40% fiction titles, both original and translated.

Our philosophy is contents + readability + design. We carefully select advantageous titles worldwide and publish them in all forms concurrently (paperback, hardcover, audiobook, e-book).

We proudly bring to Ukrainian readership a lot of big names: Bill Gates, Nobel-prized physicist Frank Wilczek, Pulitzer winners Isabel Wilkerson and Daniel Yergin, Vaclav Smil, Keith Ferazzi to name a few. Ukrainian editions of Gabriela Garcia, Nita Prose, Jenny Tinghui Zhang and others is our groundwork in belles-lettres.

After Russian assault we started to seek even more for Ukrainian authors so to insonify brand-new voices in Ukrainian literature, both fiction and nonfiction. The Russian-Ukrainian war and tectonic shifts brought to our society are our priority themes, but not the only ones.
