Much has been written about Ukrainian-Russian relations in the context of Russian interests and priorities. Russia has unceremoniously ennobled its history with other people's victories and achievements, depriving Ukrainians of their past in return. From the Ukrainian point of view, the picture is completely different.
For more than a century, domestic literature has been a spokesperson for anti-colonial discourse. From Kotlyarevsky, Kvitka-Osnovyanenko, and the Kharkiv Romantics to the modernist era and ultimately the rise of the state, she proposed various models of identity, undermining imperial claims and asserting her own cultural self-sufficiency.
In this book, the authoritative literary critic Vira Ageeva analyzes the Ukrainian resistance to the empire and the struggle for the preservation of collective memory through the prism of the cultural process.
Vira Ageeva is a professor at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Winner of the Shevchenko Prize. A feminist who was one of the first in the post-Soviet era to talk about the need to revise patriarchal values.
Author of the books "Women's Space: Feminist Discourse of Ukrainian Modernism", "Poetics of Paradox: Intellectual Prose by Viktor Petrov-Domontovych", "Apology of Modernism: Outline of the Twentieth Century", "Roads and the Crossroads", "Pattern on Stone".
