The first Russian printing press

edit

When exactly did the first printing press in Russia actually emerge? 68.228.73.154 (talk) 19:36, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some time between 1553 (according to the Russian Wikipedia article on printing press) and 1563 when the first dated printed book Acts and Epistles of the Apostles (Апо́стол) started getting printed (see also the articles on Ivan Fyodorov and Pyotr Mstislavets). ---Sluzzelin talk 19:46, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
