It allows you to learn something new, develop your own imagination, travel to other worlds, learn sciences or languages. It's hard to imagine that 500 years ago there were no printed books at all. The first printed book that appeared on the territory of modern Russia was the book “Apostle,” which was published in 1563 by Ivan Fedorov, the man who was the first to print books in Russia. It happened on April 19 and since then, this day is rightfully considered the symbolic day of Russian printing. True, they began to celebrate it on the territory of the modern Russian state relatively recently - since 2014. Today, printed books are in every home - now thousands of people from dozens of different professions work on them. Writers, artists, designers, layout designers, editors, engineers, managers, and so on are involved in the production of a book. The printing industry has united millions of creative, gifted people across the country under its leadership. Of course, Russian Printing Day does not go unnoticed. It must be said that the printing industry today has expanded its horizons and now includes not only book printing. Calendars, newspapers, magazines, business cards, photographs, packaging products and much more that need to be developed, drawn, designed, thought out, printed and presented to the public is a fairly extensive and exciting activity. So, on April 19, many people celebrate their professional holiday.
