The history of the magazine ‘Landmarks of Ukraine’ dates back to the 1960s when it was a bulletin of the Ukrainian Association for the Protection of Monuments. The publishing house itself emerged only in 2017 as a result of the denationalisation of print media. At first, the team faced financial and legal problems and managed not only to continue publishing the title journal but also to found new periodicals and start publishing books. Since then and to these days, their duty is preserving and promoting Ukrainian culture and history.
