“Closing or opening imprints is a creative process that is a natural part of the development of any major publisher. At the moment, it was decided to complete the operation of the Individuum imprint. All the books that were in the work, will necessarily reach the reader, and the staff of the publishing house Individuum will continue their work in other imprints, – said “Kommersant” in “Exmo”.
Individuum was founded in 2015. The controlling stake belongs to the publishing house “Exmo”. In May 2025, several employees of Individuum were arrested in connection with the sale of books related to LGBT (the International LGBT Movement is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia). In January 2026, the publishing house Popcorn books, which was part of the Individuum structure, was closed.
