A lot has already been written about Ukrainian-Russian relations in the context of Russian interests and priorities. Russia unceremoniously ennobled its own history with other people's achievements and achievements, while depriving Ukrainians of their past. From the Ukrainian point of view, the picture is quite different.

It is not for a century that Ukrainian literature has been the source of anti-colonial discourse. From Kotlyarevsky, Kvitka-Osnov’yanenok, Kharkiv romantics to the era of modernism and the establishment of the state, it has proposed various models of identity, supporting imperial claims and asserting its own cultural self-sufficiency.

In this book, authoritative literary scholar Vira Ageyeva analyses the Ukrainian opposition to empire and the struggle to preserve collective memory through the prism of the cultural process.
