KSD (Family Leisure Club) — Ukrainian Books

KSD (Klub Simeinoho Dozvillia, the Family Leisure Club) has been publishing in Kharkiv since 2000 and is today the leader of the Ukrainian book market. For years it was part of Bertelsmann's Direct Group, which shaped its focus on big international bestsellers in Ukrainian translation.

This is where Ukrainian readers find Stephen King, Agatha Christie, Dan Brown, Richard Osman and Lise Bourbeau, as well as the popular-science series Fundatsiia with Hawking, Sagan and Dawkins. KSD also champions Ukrainian prose: Max Kidruk, Vasyl Shkliar, Volodymyr Lys and Liuko Dashvar all publish here. In October 2026 a Russian strike hit the KSD warehouse with about 300,000 books — buying their titles directly supports the publisher.
