The story
Founded by Ilya Kormiltsev in 2003.1
In 2003, Ilya Kormiltsev founded publishing house Ultra.Kultura and managed it as the editor-in-chief since 2003 until his death in 2007. Ultra.Kultura became notorious in 2004, when Russian authorities accused it with propaganda of drug use and terrorism.
In 2006, shortly after Ultra.Kultura translated Adam Parfrey's Apocalypse Culture and Apocalypse Culture II and published them together as a single volume, titled Культура времен Апокалипсиса, the volume was banned by Kremlin decree as drug propaganda. Unsold copies were ordered destroyed.
