The publishing house helped and organized the publication of the book. Everything is done on a turnkey basis, a very humane and adequate attitude.
The authors are fans of their work. I am especially grateful to Tina Palynskaya, who took up the project and was able not only to bring it to completion as an author, but also to bring depth of research. And also add humanity and life to the text, make it really interesting to read. For example, on her own initiative, she came up with the idea of collecting feedback from her father's students and her grandfather's graduate students, gathered and traveled to the region to interview an important elderly relative.
The publishing house "Segment" has released my book "The Story of my family". I've been dreaming about writing this book for many years and now my dream has come true! I would like to thank the entire creative team of the publishing house – editors, proofreaders, designers and typographers – for their highly professional attitude! Special deep thanks to Tina Zakharovna Palynskaya, who helped me turn archival information and photographs into a living story, imbued her as her own and took the most sincere part in the project, Anastasia Igorevna Grischuk and Karina Askerovna Egorsheva for organizing the publication of the book, attention and assistance in solving all issues.
I got acquainted with the work of the Publishing House "Book of the Genus" as a family member. I am very grateful to Tina Palynskaya for her interest in my own research, for her commitment to national history, for her friendliness and ability to involve all family lines in the creative process. I admire her ability to endure the inconveniences associated with the need to move and adapt to different conditions in different parts of the country.
Dear colleagues!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in the publication of my book. Your support, professionalism and attention to every detail have made this project a reality. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and willingness to meet my wishes. Special thanks to Anastasia Grischuk and Elena Murin, who worked tirelessly to improve the text and helped make the book better. I also want to thank the design team for creating a great design that has become a real decoration of the publication.
Thank you for your hard work, creativity and dedication! I hope our joint work will bring joy and benefit to the readers.
With respect,

I still can't get over the admiration with which they approached the publication of my book about my family with a sensitive responsibility. For how long I dreamed of such a book, and thanks to the joint work I found relatives, which is very important for me to connect the ancestral threads. I express my deep gratitude to the Book of the Genus Publishing House and especially to Tina Palynskaya, a good editor, a professional in her field, she wrote about our family with love and attention. She came to my house to delve deeper into our history. She found archives that we didn't even know about, but it was so exciting. My book has been 6 months old, and I still often reread it. I am grateful that fate brought me together with people like you. This is really the best thing that happened to me. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. I will recommend you with pleasure.
I was prompted to write a book about our family by the desire to preserve for my little daughter the memory of my mom and dad, wonderful people, and my grandparents. The Publishing House "The Book of the Genus" came to the rescue. The cost of the book may be high, but the result was justified. I would especially like to mention my co-author, Tina Palynskaya, a wonderful girl who was very indifferent to cooperation with my parents, with our whole friendly family, and gave us a number of valuable tips on independent archival search work.

I've been thinking for a long time about how my Family influences me, my current life. But it was difficult to formalize these thoughts: sometimes there wasn't enough time, sometimes there wasn't enough inspiration. I contacted the Publishing house "Book of the Genus" and solved all the problems at once. The editor–in-chief, the author, the editor - all worked with sincere dedication, helped make my dream come true, and worked very professionally. I am very grateful to you! Thank you 😊
They fit the bill perfectly. We put the pieces of disparate information together and got a great result. The whole family was thrilled!
Thank you so much for such hard work and the work done!
About two years ago, I found out via Facebook that there is a publishing house that publishes family books. I had an appointment, and I met the amazing Yana Stomma, open, welcoming, literate.
I realized that it was necessary, expensive, in every sense. And I decided: I will prepare, record the memories of the older generation, collect photos, save money. Which I did. Later, a contract was signed. This was attended by Yana Stomma and Anastasia Grischuk, who eventually became the main editor of our family book. I met Elena Lagunova, a wonderful journalist from Gomel, in absentia...
the mystery of the birth of the future book began. Thanks to her... She started translating audio recordings into real text. For me, everything went through agony. My relatives did not support me, but the main thing is that the eldest son promised to pay for joint opuses. Which I did.
A million torments and doubts did not leave me: does anyone need, if necessary, then who? and how to explain everything so as not to forget anyone and not offend with a random phrase. My "curator" changed, Valentina Shapovalova, a sweet beauty, began to cooperate with me, the work was going on, but the book did not stick... I've already thought about maybe giving up everything, postponing, rescheduling. But suddenly it occurred to me: not now, then never.
Anastasia provided invaluable help to me, who came to my cottage and home, even our cat fell in love with her. Thank you, Anastasia, for your patience, understanding, and professionalism. I am also grateful to designer Olga Pronkevich, the choice of color, the general design concept are very important things, and everything was done thoughtfully and sincerely, soulfully. That's how it should be. It is a very delicate matter to create such books. Subtle and important. Now, when I hold a book in my hands (there is always a lump in my throat), I can admire its cover, content, print quality, all the time I mentally thank the brave, deep person who conceived and embodied this wonderful opportunity to create a book of Sorts. Many, many people, leafing through the book, say: I want one, someone says, I will do one. I warn everyone that this is a huge work of the soul, but there are good fairies from the publishing house "Book of the Genus": they will help, understand, prompt. And here's another thing: you can only start making such a book, it's impossible to finish it. I'm already thinking about what I would add, change, add. I don't know yet how this will turn into reality. But there is a desire. Thanks to the publishing team, just well done, who clearly know their business, to everyone (both the chief accountant and the couriers), thank you very much, let your idea of a Generic Book develop, it makes people closer to each other and to themselves.

I have always wanted to learn more about my ancestors, to preserve their interesting and very touching stories about the Lukyanenko family for my children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, not many documents have been preserved. The information was provided by my mother's cousin's sister, my mother, these are war children. Unfortunately, the editors did not provide archival documents, only the memories of our mothers and a modern version of our life stories. I am very grateful to Anastasia Grischuk
The issuing editor

The desire to write and publish a book arose quite a long time ago.
I doubted for a long time and was indecisive in choosing a publishing house, because it is not very easy to do this in our city. Until, finally, the gaze stopped at the publishing house "Segment".
It turned out to be easier to work with the publishing house than I expected, although the publishing house is located in Minsk. Each stage is coordinated, changes are made, and the optimal decision is made. The logistics between the publisher and the author is clearly built from the signal copy to the circulation.
I would like to note the high professionalism of the publishing house staff, goodwill in communication, responsiveness, and interest in the best final result.
For several years, we were going to record our dad's memories of his military childhood, youth, and the history of our family. He talked a lot about the events of his life, but I wanted to capture them somehow so that I could share them with relatives and friends, so that the memory of the past of our native people would remain. But we had absolutely no idea where to start. In 2022, I found information on the Internet about the Segment publishing house, which has a department for working with family books, and realized that I had come to the right place. We immediately contacted the publishing house, and our idea began to come to life. Sensitive, intelligent, caring people work here who help preserve the priceless memories of eyewitnesses of their time and pass them on to posterity. At all stages of this complex process, we have met with interest, understanding, human involvement, and creativity. Our family book was printed on time, it turned out to be very beautiful, interesting and became a wonderful gift to people dear to us. Now Dad is writing new chapters, and I hope that the next volume of our family saga is not far off. Now we know where to turn. I sincerely thank the staff of the family book department of the Segment publishing house and recommend it to my friends with great pleasure.
I would like to express my gratitude to the team of the publishing house "Book of the Genus" for creating my family book "Origins". I had no idea at all how the process of writing it would go. I thought that I would give the very little information that I have. This will be imprinted on a certain number of leaves. Well, maybe you'll add letters from mom, dad, and grandpa there. That's all. But the result exceeded all my expectations.
I was especially surprised by the detailed analysis of the materials that I provided during the work. And the fact that archived data is included here. I wouldn't go to the archive myself. I didn't even think about it, and I didn't know which way to approach the issue of performing an archive search. But you have worked in this direction, picked up archival materials and included them in the book.
When I saw the finished book, I cried.
Thank you so much for your work and professionalism!
"The Book of the Genus Publishing House " and especially Tina , who is in love with her work , who has collected a lot of new data that even we ourselves did not suspect .

A few years ago, we persuaded Dad to record memories of his life and work. He agreed, and began to write down his memories consistently, starting from childhood. At that time, no one thought about whether it would be framed in the form of a book, the main thing was to preserve the stories that we heard in his stories. Unfortunately, Dad did not have time to finish what he started, but we decided to publish the manuscript in book form. While we were thinking where to turn, the decision came by itself, in the form of an advertisement for the Publishing House "Segment", which we saw on Instagram. We came to Minsk to get acquainted, conclude an agreement and resolve initial issues, then, during the preparation of the book, there were two more meetings with the publishing editor Anastasia
Myadelko. It took about five months from the conclusion of the contract to the receipt of the printed edition, as agreed at the very beginning. Only the most positive impressions remained from working with the staff of the publishing house. All our wishes were realized, all the questions and doubts that arose were discussed in detail
and they were solved promptly. The prepared layout of the book and the signal copy passed with a bang. The quality of the Publishing House's work is such that even a year and a half after its completion, the thought never arose that we had done something wrong (we chose the wrong format, the wrong paper, the wrong font, the wrong photos...). We express our gratitude to the entire team who worked with us! Good luck to you!
I liked the result, we made a cool book. The quality of the book is good, and we also found roots up to the 11th generation! We conducted an interview with relatives ourselves)
