Abstract :The article analyzes the historical and methodological characteristics of the book publishing process in Eastern European countries. Since the late 19th century, publishing activities in the region have served the functions of enlightenment and the preservation of national identity, while during the Soviet era, they developed extensively under ideological control. In the post-socialist period, the publishing sector adapted to the principles of a market economy, beginning to operate through new methodological and organizational models. The study examines the main challenges within the Eastern European publishing landscape, including economic difficulties, shifts in the reader audience, digital challenges, and language barriers. At the same time, digitalization, international cooperation, and the strengthening of state support are identified as key directions for future development. The findings indicate that the Eastern European publishing system relies on a synthesis of historical experience and contemporary trends, emphasizing the need to simultaneously preserve national culture and integrate into the global information environment.
