At the end of May 2020, the editor-in-chief and several top managers left the company due to a conflict with the owner.^[4] The pretext was the publication of a book about the coronavirus by a Russian scientist, and the real reason was called bad attitude and "humiliation at work." Vladyslav Kyrychenko himself said that since 2018, the direction in which the company's team had been moving did not correspond to his vision.^[5]

Over the years, the publishing house has published more than 500 titles with a total circulation of more than 2 million 200 thousand copies.
