History of the Department of OVPK: 90s

In 1990, the Department of Publishing, Printing and Book Distribution was established within the Publishing and Printing Faculty of KPI. Given the industry's need for specialists, their work profile, as well as the department's experience in training and restructuring in other departments of KPI, especially - the Faculty of Management and Marketing, the Department of OVPK chose the direction of "Management" specialty "Organization Management". This was more in line with the industry's requirements for specialists, as it included not only economic but also managerial training. Within this specialty, two areas of profiling specialists were created: 1) management and economics of publishing and printing; 2) bibliography and distribution of printed materials.

The opening of full-time education and the corresponding restructuring of the educational process required the replenishment of the teaching staff with qualified specialists. Senior Research Fellow, Associate Professor, Candidate of Economic Sciences VS Sachynsky (since 1990), who took over the teaching of specialized disciplines in the basics of management and organization of publishing, and Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor Ya. I. Ilkiv (since 1993).

The problem of teaching staff was solved in two ways:
1) involvement in teaching new highly qualified specialists (both in the staff of the department and on a full-time basis);
2) education of teachers from the most talented graduates. The second direction is given special attention, because in this, in our opinion, the future of the department.

The following people were involved in the educational process on a part-time basis:

Professor, Doctor of Economics VV Vitlinsky - a well-known specialist, author of many works on risk theory;
Doctor of Historical Sciences TI Kivshar - an expert on the history of book business, from which a number of monographs were published;
MD Feller, Doctor of Philology - a well-known specialist in book business and editorial skills;
Associate Professor, Candidate of Historical Sciences Ya. Ye. Soshynska, Specialist in Informatics.

Associate professors, candidates of economic sciences GI Glotova, NI Perederienko came to the full-time job at the department; Associate Professor, Candidate of Historical Sciences JM Kovba.

Gradually, the best graduates of the faculty were involved in teaching at the department: OM Barzilovich (since 1991), ZV Grigorova (since 1996), AV Kvasko (since 1998), O. A. Sukhorukova (since 1998), LP Shenderivska (since 2000). Graduates of other institutions and specialists in the field also became our teachers: senior teachers OO Dobrovolsky (since 1999), VE Soshinskaya (since 2000), MT Andriychuk (since 1998).
