ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express his gratitude to Dr. 0. Starchuk for guidance and encouragement during the writing of this dissertation, and to Mr. Kyril Holden for stylistic emendations. Preface The primary incentive in compiling data for this dissertation has heen a desire to grant well-deserved credit to a young Soviet Ukrainian poet who died of cancer at the age of 28. In selecting a method of development of this topic I have decided to include information on his background and environment, without which it would he difficult to determine the proper place of this poet within the framework of Soviet Ukrainian literature. Indeed, the excessive amount of contradictory material available on this topic and the necessity of editing and evaluating it has been one of the greatest difficulties faced by the author of this dissertation. Most of the sources dealing with contemporary Soviet Ukrainian literature are also of a highly subjective nature. Under these conditions it has been difficult to select a method for the classifica¬ tion of the writers discussed within the limitations of this work.

  • The Condition of Contemporary Ukrainian Culture: the Postcolonial Retrospective and Perspective
    The Condition of Contemporary Ukrainian Culture: The Postcolonial Retrospective and Perspective Denys Svyrydenko1 Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, National Pedagogical Dragomanov University (Kyiv, Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6126-1747 Wiktor Możgin2 Ph.D., Researcher in Cultural Science, Jagiellonian University in Cracow (Cracow, Poland) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5744-8103 Contemporary Ukrainian culture is in a state of redefinition of the basic values and principles on which its functioning is based. The challenge faced by the political and intellectual elites of Ukraine is to create a common language code that will be accepted and understood by members of the whole society. The postcolonial character of culture in this context is the platform on which the contemporary image of the Ukrainian state is created. Therefore, the idea of contemporary Ukraine should be based on the process of getting rid of the “postcolonial syndrome” and shaping the Ukrainian culture based on the traditions and attitudes of national culture. The state’s position in this regard should be compatible and follow the common goal of real independence from the then colonizer. The Russian Federation, implementing its imperial policy towards Ukraine, effectively hinders the development of the Ukrainian cultural sphere, which is one of the priority state-building spaces. Therefore, Ukrainian society faces a very difficult task, because it should create an effective institutional and systemic base that will allow for nationwide development. The process of uniting the Ukrainian nation around the basic state-building idea should be based on a common language space, because language is the element that shapes the area of mutual social interactions.
