Ольга Полах

My name is Olha Polah, and I have been working in the miniature weapons production area since 2015. I have started the mini firearms brand. I have been running the brand's Instagram (now wpolah_miniature_guns), where I talk about my miniature models and exciting facts about their full-size prototypes and show the process of creating mini guns since 2016.In 2017, the first mini firearms model appeared in the April issue of Miniature Arms Journal. Interestingly, information about the miniature was sent to the magazine editor by an enthusiastic customer who purchased a 1mm Derringer for his own collection. More than once, the brand's models have been appearing in this magazine produced by Bob Urso for the Miniature Arms Society. In 2018, I became the sole owner of a brand and completely changed its strategy. I created a comprehensive line of miniatures to make the subject more popular and attract a new audience. I have initiated the rebranding process and now produce miniature models under the brand name W.POLAH miniature guns.More than 60 models of miniature weapons from various historical periods have already been created for any budget. Miniatures are scattered across almost every continent except for Antarctica. The brand has fans in 25+ countries around the world: the USA, Canada, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Australia, Germany, France, Sweden, Austria, Italy, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Israel, Switzerland, Belgium, China, South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil, the Philippines, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, South Korea, Iraq, and of course Ukraine.In November 2023, a great interview of Olha Polah with Robert Dunn for the GunTech magazine was published. There, I talked about my background and the hardships I had to endure in my business (from problems with my partner and working during the COVID-19 epidemic to maintaining production during the war).I have been running a newsletter for the brand's customers, sharing news and interesting facts about miniature weapons every week. Despite all the challenges, this activity has now evolved into a full-fledged magazine with in-depth articles, which are published in the blog section of the wpolah.com website.Everything I do, including my blog articles, aims to make people's lives more joyful and exciting, to captivate and inspire everyone to express themselves.
