Kredo

Kredo (formally registered as LLC "VKB-Kredo") is a Ukrainian publishing house specializing mainly in children's books. Its head office is located in Kyiv, while its main industrial production capacity is in Kharkiv. The company operates as a limited liability company (Товариство з обмеженою відповідальністю) under Ukrainian law. The publisher's catalogue is organized around several distinctive formats. Its fairy-tale collections are grouped by size: "Kazky" (large-format books), "Kazochky" (medium-format books), and "Zbirnyky kazok" (small-format collections). Beyond conventional storybooks, Kredo is known for toy books and novelty formats. The "Lialky" (Dolls) series pairs stories about fairy-tale heroines such as Thumbelina, Snow White, and Cinderella with original design, bright illustrations, and a porcelain doll included as a gift. The "Ocheniata" (Little Eyes) series consists of cardboard toy books with plastic eyes inserted into the characters' portraits, designed to make the characters feel alive and to engage children's senses of sight and touch. Kredo has also developed newer product types including carousel books shaped like cardboard carousels, panorama books with three-dimensional images (hard matte covers with selective varnishing), hide-and-seek riddles with pull-out elements, isolon bag books, and chalk books in soft covers made of coated paper. For younger schoolchildren the publisher offers workbooks such as writing practice (propysy). A significant portion of the list is aimed at the youngest readers: cardboard books (knyzhky-kartonky) designed to help toddlers learn to read by syllables, count on their fingers, pronounce words correctly, and absorb basic rules of road safety and polite behaviour. Thematic groups of these books are positioned as aids in child-rearing and harmonious development. Kredo also publishes New Year books — collections of New Year poems in various formats, including toy books shaped like fairy-tale characters and holiday attributes, as well as large-format fairy-tale collections decorated with shimmering glitter to enhance the festive atmosphere. The publisher's contact address is 04655, Ukraine, Kyiv, Verbova Street, 17. The company has been the subject of controversy: according to Ukrainian Wikipedia, the publishing house is suspected of trading with the Russian Federation during the war, and its owner is registered as a sole proprietor (FOP) in the so-called DNR. These allegations are noted in the source and are a matter of public dispute.

Kredo (registered as LLC "VKB-Kredo") is a Ukrainian publishing house whose head office is in Kyiv and whose main industrial production capacity is in Kharkiv. The company specializes mainly in children's books and has built its identity around a wide range of formats rather than a single genre. Its fairy-tale output is divided by physical size into three groups: "Kazky" (the largest format), "Kazochky" (medium format), and "Zbirnyky kazok" (the smallest format). Alongside these conventional collections, Kredo developed a line of toy books. The "Lialky" (Dolls) series is dedicated to beloved fairy-tale heroines such as Thumbelina, Snow White, and Cinderella; each book features original design and bright illustrations and comes with a porcelain doll as a gift, intended to encourage reading skills. The "Ocheniata" (Little Eyes) series consists of cardboard toy books with plastic eyes inserted into the portraits of the characters, creating an impression of liveliness and allowing children to perceive the characters through both sight and touch, gradually developing their senses. Among newer product types, the publisher lists carousel books made in the form of cardboard carousels, panorama books with three-dimensional images (in hard matte covers with selective varnishing), hide-and-seek riddles with pull-out elements, bag books made of isolon, and chalk books in soft covers made of coated paper. Kredo also produces materials for younger schoolchildren, including writing practice workbooks (propysy). A large part of the list targets the very youngest readers. Cardboard books (knyzhky-kartonky) are designed to help a small child quickly and easily learn to read by syllables, count on fingers, pronounce words correctly, and absorb basic rules of road safety and polite behaviour. These books are organized into thematic groups and are presented as helpers in child-rearing and in the harmonious development of a child's abilities. Kredo also publishes New Year books: collections of New Year poems in various formats and contents, including toy books shaped like fairy-tale characters and New Year attributes, as well as large-format fairy-tale collections decorated with shimmering glitter that enhances the magic of the festive New Year atmosphere during reading. The publisher's contact information lists an address at 04655, Ukraine, Kyiv, Verbova Street, 17. Ukrainian Wikipedia also records controversy surrounding the company: it states that the publishing house is suspected of trading with the Russian Federation during the war, and that its owner is registered as a sole proprietor (FOP) in the so-called DNR. These are allegations reported in the source and form part of the public record about the company.
