From the publisher:

The book by Oksana Pakhlevska, writer, cultural critic, professor at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", researcher at the Taras Shevchenko Institute of Literature of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Shevchenko Institute of Literature of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, covers the period from the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall to the time when post-Soviet Ukraine became the "nerve" of the actualised civilisational confrontation between Russia and the West against the backdrop of the global world crisis.

The main topic is Ukraine's cultural re-integration into Europe as a prerequisite for its political integration. The book is unique in its "out there" perspective: the author's reflections are based on his experience of working on the development of Ukrainian studies in Europe since the beginning of the independence of the Ukrainian state.
