At the beginning of the 20th century, a businessman named Milan Auman lived in Krško. He was engaged in various less profitable activities and subsequently saw a business opportunity for publishing and printing Russian books. The latter were intended mostly for Russian emigrants who were coming in large numbers also to Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes after their civil war, and showed a great need for books in their native language. Although Auman became one of the biggest publishers and printers of Russian books, he did not enjoy success in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia like some other publishers abroad. His company experienced bankruptcy after only a few years. A considerably more tragic fate befell Russian emigrant Andrej Rafajlovič Milevski who started publishing a Russian monthly in Celje titled Zarja. This article is a part of a broader 15-year-long research on Russian emigration in Slovenia which was published in the book titled Rusko zamejstvo v slovenskih deželah (Russian emigrants/minorities in Slovenian lands) at the end of 2018.
