Parts of a book activities

At the beginning of the discussion, Leonid Palko, Managing Vice President of the Russian Book Union, General Director of the publishing house Veche , said that the Russian Book Union considers it its primary task to collect the opinions and wishes of industry players, as well as to establish relations with the Moscow Government for providing scribes with state support. Among the main goals of the RCC in the long term are maintaining affordable prices for books for buyers, retaining staff in publishing houses and bookstores, actively using social advertising and social support measures (in particular, entering books into the Pushkin Card program) and a constant dialogue with specialists from the regions.

Head of the Department for Supporting the Literary Process, Book Exhibitions and Promotion of Reading of the Department of State Support for Periodical Press and Book Industry of the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia Alexander Voropaev summed up the results of Russian book publishing in 2019-2021. According to him, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Russia is concerned about the current situation in the industry, especially the significant increase in book prices, as well as the fact that “turbulence is just beginning ... we will monitor the situation in real time and develop general principles and approaches to solving the situation” .

On the state of the book industry in 2021-2022 told the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Book Industry" Elena Solovieva . She noted positive changes in the turnover of the book market, the importance of maintaining the book trade infrastructure and a balanced pricing policy in the face of sanctions pressure and the unpreparedness of the domestic printing industry to uninterruptedly provide the Russian reader with new book editions. At the same time, in the difficult conditions of the pandemic, Russian bookstores not only retained their book assortment, but also did everything possible to reduce book inflation to 11%. The main goal of scribes for 2022 is to support the reader with a variety of assortments and reasonable prices, as well as to maintain a market structure for the book industry, avoiding a return to the principles of a planned economy, preferences and quotas for the elite.

Technical Director of OctoPrint Service and Hubergroup RUS Tatyana Klimova reported that the fifth package of EU sanctions will exacerbate the crisis in book printing: an acute shortage of printing inks, which were mainly imported from the EU, will be added to the shortage of paper. European manufacturers are already stopping supplies, and Chinese counterparts are 80-100% more expensive. Klimova sees the main danger of anti-Russian sanctions in the ban on the maintenance of foreign printing lines installed in Russian printing houses, in the ban on the supply of necessary spare parts and consumables. According to her forecasts, the current stocks of raw materials at printing houses will be enough for a period of about 2 months, while purchase prices will continue to rise, and transportation will become much more complicated: “Two years of the coronavirus severed supply chains in Europe, many components of production moved to China and India, and the complexity of the supply led to higher prices” .

Igor Poltavtsev , Deputy General Director of JSC "First Model Printing House" supported his colleague, paying special attention to the fact that there are critically few serious printing companies on the Russian market, which exacerbates the crisis and does not allow talking about diversity. In the near future, due to the lack of raw materials, printing products will be greatly simplified and lose quality, sophistications in the design of books will disappear from the market for a long time. Today, serious problems are associated with a shortage of plates for printing and paints and the inability to promptly replace imported resources with domestic counterparts. The most technologically advanced enterprises, as a rule, are under great pressure. "The current situation is very bad, but I agree that all the turbulence and all the problems are still ahead" , Poltavtsev said.

General Director of the EKSMO Publishing House Evgeny Kapiev believes that the industry is in an unprecedented crisis, and therefore any forecasts should be very cautious. The third quarter of this year will be the most difficult for the Eksmo publishing house. In addition to the obvious problems in the printing industry, in the current situation there are no less serious problems in terms of marketing: a change in the usual promotion tools associated with the blocking and withdrawal of a number of social networks from Russia; a decline in demand in the audiobook segment and a reduction in impulsive spontaneous purchases in bookstores located in shopping centers. Kapyev urged his colleagues not to rush to reduce advertising support for published books, but rather to look for new ideas, because in times of crisis, advertising often becomes an important sales driver. It is now important for publishers to reorient their assortment and promotion tools, support Russian authors and not reduce pressure on pirates, because an increase in the level of online piracy will roll the industry back decades.

On February 24, according to Alexei Ilyin, , General Director of Alpina IG, nullified all the plans, forecasts and trends of scribes, but the main consequences of the crisis are still ahead: “I think there is not a single person and not a single business in Russia, who now would not think what to do. I tried to assess our risks as unemotionally as possible, because now is the time when the leader needs to make the most accurate decisions.” Approximately 15-20% of the foreign right holders with whom Alpina cooperates announced the termination of the conclusion of new contracts, the structure of demand has changed. Shipments fell by 20%, while the extreme volatility of the exchange rate and the sanctions imposed on banks complicated mutual settlements with foreign companies. Consumer preferences have changed radically: now life-affirming psychology and philosophy, history books and fiction, in which there are some historical parallels with the current situation, come to the fore.

According to Ilyin, the main risk now is a decrease in demand from buyers in the absence of free cash. The great inertia of publishers, the difficulty of predicting the interest of readers for several months in advance, and increasing state censorship are also of serious concern.

Director of the publishing house "ROSMEN" Boris Kuznetsov noted that about a quarter (20-25%) of the "children's" book release directly depends on imported components (coated paper, high-quality cardboard, self-adhesive paper, etc. ), Therefore, in the near future, the assortment of children's books in Russia will be significantly simplified, at least books with game elements, there are no sticker books in the plans of the Rosmen publishing house. The main emphasis is on the "old baggage" of publishing houses and classical literature. However, there is also “good news”: a children's book is under less pressure than an adult book today, thanks to a smaller share of translated titles on the bestseller lists. “If we talk about purchasing power, we now see the possibility of replacing a significant part of the freed-up leisure time with books. The toy market is in a fever stronger than ours, and we have the opportunity to “put a foot in someone else’s market” a little bit. In addition, a children's book has a unique opportunity: we sell very well in the distribution channels for children's goods, for us this is an opportunity, ”, Kuznetsov noted. Also, according to the expert, right now, more than ever, it is important to finalize and launch a national program for children and families reading.

Elfiya Dorofeeva , General Director of Mozaika-Sintez Publishing House drew attention to the social responsibility of book industry specialists in terms of upbringing and education of the young generation of Russians. According to Dorofeeva, it is necessary at the state level to instill in young readers love for their state, knowledge of its history and culture, and also to teach the younger generation to form their own opinion about what is happening in the country and the world. The expert proposed publishing a library of patriotic books under the auspices of the Russian Book Union and distributing them free of charge in kindergartens, elementary schools and municipal children's libraries. Head of the Books group at Wildberries Alexey Kuzmenko presented the benefits of cooperation with marketplaces and the tools that this platform offers publishers. The marketplace today is an increasingly obvious alternative to traditional book distribution channels. Kuzmenko considers it important for scribes to be able to test any new publishing projects on Wildberries, because the marketplace has the widest audience of consumers, and the advantages of such sites should not be neglected.

Commercial Director of the book trading company "Amital" Tatyana Larina noted that for the first time in a long time, within the framework of an industry conference, words were voiced about the importance of maintaining the profile book retail in the country: "It is to be hoped that this understanding will be reflected and under commercial conditions of contracts with publishers” . The beginning of 2022 in the Amital chain was marked by a strong drop in sales, however, March and April showed positive dynamics compared to 2021 and 2019years. The increase in sales during this period was influenced not only by rising prices, but also by information stuffing about a possible shortage of certain categories of books or their serious rise in price. Now, in the context of the crisis, bookstores are constantly monitoring stocks and reevaluating the assortment due to the rise in the cost of supplies from publishers. The bookstores themselves do not change their margin, despite the difficulties and inflation. Tatyana Larina added that she is counting on both the state support of the industry and the support of publishers in terms of maintaining the same terms of partnership.

Director General of the Moscow House of Books State Unitary Enterprise, President of the Association of Book Distributors of Independent States Nadezhda Mikhailova believes that problems should be solved together, and not at the expense of other players. A Marina Kameneva , general director of the Moskva bookstore, noted that now is the time for longsellers: in the portfolios of all publishing houses there are publications that are sold steadily and it is necessary to pay special attention to them. The participants of the conference were introduced to the preferences of buyers in the choice of book products by Larisa Vedenyeva , a referent of the goods and services management group of TD "BIBLIO-GLOBUS".

At the end of the discussion, Leonid Palko once again stressed the priority of the social responsibility of scribes over other problems and tasks facing the Russian book industry today. On April 12, the industry conference "The Book Industry of Russia in Conditions of Turbulence" was held, organized by the magazine "Book Industry" with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia. The participants discussed key indicators of the book market, risk factors in the face of sanctions pressure, issues of pricing, production and distribution of raw materials, changes in the investment policy of publishers, government support measures for the book industry, and a review of business strategies in book publishing and bookselling in 2022.

The 20th issue of the collection Book Publishing in Russia in the 19th — early 20th centuries is associated with the 180th anniversary of Florenty Fedorovich Pavlenkov (1839-1900), to whom the first block of materials is dedicated.
