Publishing house in Kyiv, Ukraine

Naukova Dumka (Ukrainian: Наукова Думка, lit. 'Scientific Thought') was a publishing house in Kyiv, Ukraine from 1922 to 2024. It was established by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 1922, largely owing to the efforts of Ahatanhel Krymsky, a prominent Ukrainian linguist and orientalist. It was one of the oldest scientific and academic publishing houses in the former Soviet Union and became known as Naukova Dumka in 1964, before which it simply functioned as the official publisher of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
