The History of GOST

The history of magazine GOST started in Varna in November 2013 with a small magazine in Russian language. The idea of the creator Evgenia Styleofsky to advertise Bulgarian business, was supported by large construction companies from the Black Sea coast.

For two years Zenit United Ltd. published over 30,000 copies of the magazine and reached a wide audience not only in Varna, but also in Burgas.

Growth and rebranding

The permanent success was realized not only because of content of the magazine, but also because the quality of the seal. Gradually, more and more authors and creative people joined in the creation of the magazine, and the advertising participation became more prestigious. In 2016, the publishing house moved to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. ZENITafisha was rebranded and appeared GOST magazine – glossy magazine, A4+ format, in two languages – Bulgarian and Russian.
