According to the organizers, the decision was prompted by the security situation in the capital. The festival was planned to be held at VDNG, featuring a book fair, meetings with authors, and other activities.
We had been looking forward to this meeting so much. We were preparing a program, a large book fair, new activities, and surprises. We worked on the festival every day and believed until the very last moment that we would meet you at VDNG very soon. But unfortunately, not everything depends on us. Due to the security situation in the capital, we are forced to postpone "Book Country. Mysterious" until spring

Publishers will be able to recover after the attacks and prepare new books. Authors will be able to finish their manuscripts. Printing houses will be able to print new editions. And we will make the festival even larger, more interesting, and fuller
