Before departing for New York, youth delegates research the youth sphere in Ukraine and initiate consultations with young leaders and experts in youth poli- cies. One of the essential parts is a briefing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). High-level diplomats explained to us the main priorities of Ukraine’s foreign affairs and instructed us on our primary duties and relations with other delegations.

It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit of 80,000 words. ii ABSTRACT Bohdan Tokarskyi ‘A Fragment of Wholeness’: The Making of the Poetic Subject in Vasyl Stus’s Palimpsests My PhD thesis investigates the exploration of the self and the innovative poetical language in the works of the Ukrainian dissident poet and Gulag prisoner Vasyl Stus (1938-1985). Focusing on Stus’s magnum opus collection Palimpsests (1971-1979), where the poet casts the inhuman conditions of his incarceration to the periphery and instead engages in radical introspection, I show how Stus’s poetry foregrounds the very making of the subject as the constant pursuit of the authentic self. Through my examination of unpublished archival materials, analysis of Stus’s underexplored poems, and the contextualisation of the poet’s works within the tradition of the philosophy of becoming, I propose a new reading of Palimpsests, one that redirects scholarly attention from the historical and political to the psychological and philosophical.

He then proceeded to criticize the policies and actions of the administration of President Leonid Kuchma, who is considered the current front-run- ner in a lengthy discourse. The first two months of the fourth session of the third Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine are expected to be filled with political electioneering, with the podium of the Parliament as the stump, and devoid of substantive legislative action as the presidential campaign season moves to its finale on October 31. Because Chairman Tkachenko is one of the 14 candidates battling to oust President Kuchma, his comments surprised no one.
