Hello Russia, Belarus, Ukraina, Kazakstan and Uzbekistan!

Dear Russian-speaking Readers,

Over the years, we have built up an extensive, committed readership in Russia and other Russian-speaking countries. You have sent us numerous lovely messages expressing wish for OTTOBRE design® magazine to be published in Russian. We are now happy to announce that your wish will be fulfilled! OTTOBRE design® kids magazine will be published entirely in Russian as from the beginning of next year.


We cooperate with El Maestro, a company based in Moscow. El Maestro has already published two Russian-language issues of the magazine during this autumn: 1/2012 RUS (original issue OTTOBRE design® kids 4/2011) and 2/2012 (original issue OTTOBRE design® kids 6/2011).

These issues had such an enthusiastic reception from readers that it was easy to make the decision to start publishing the Russian version simultaneously with the other language versions. In 2013, all OTTOBRE design® children’s issues will also be published in Russian. Each Russian-language issue will be on sale in stores 3–4 weeks after the publication of the English-language issue.

Приветствуем Вас, дорогие русскоязычные читатели нашего журнала!


В течение прошедших лет журнал «OTTOBRE Design» завоевал внимание широкой и лояльной читательской аудитории и в России и в других русскоязычных странах. Мы получили от Вас массу трогательных писем с просьбой начать выпуск журнала на русском языке. Мы рады сообщить, что Ваше желание сбудется! В начале 2013г. начнет выходить журнал «OTTOBRE Design Kids» на русском языке.

Мы сотрудничаем с московской компанией ООО «Эль Маэстро», которое уже прошедшей осенью выпустило два номера журнала на русском языке: 1/2012 RUS (перевод прошлогоднего номера журнала OTTOBRE Kids 4/2011) и 2/2012 (перевод прошлогоднего номера журнала OTTOBRE Kids 6/2011).

Два первых русскоязычных журнала оказались настолько успешными, что нам легко было принять решение о параллельном выпуске журнала на русском и других языках! В 2013г. на русском языке будут опубликованы все детские номера журнала «OTTOBRE Design». Русскоязычная версия журнала будет в продаже недели через три-четыре после выхода журнала на английском языке.

Sandy ate our candy...


Dear Readers in North America,

We have received inquiries about the non-arrival of our winter issue 6/2012 in North America. Regarding this, our partner, the Swiss Post, sent us the following message to be forwarded to our customers:

“Because of the Superstorm Sandy, the situation regarding shipments to the USA is really chaotic. International shipments are normally imported via New York’s JFK Airport, which has – in addition to the storm – suffered from exceptional snowfalls. Due to this, a large amount of international mail is stuck at the airport, waiting for the situation to get back to normal. Although some of the international shipments have been re-directed to other airports, there are still considerable delays due to the storm.

It is advisable to ask customers to continue to be patient and wait. They will definitely receive their magazines once the chaos has been sorted out.”

We regret this state of affairs and hope that you have the patience to wait a little longer for the situation to clear up.

Best regards,

Matti Hepola
Publishing Director
