Journal Title: Література та культура Полісся - Year 2017, Vol 86, Issue 8
Abstract
The paper deals with Ukrainian socialist realist canon of 1941-1943. It states that relative liberalization was the main feature of the canon of that period which is revealed in three tendencies: modification of literature functions, extension of canonical themes and images as well as revision of Soviet life and Communist party's policy. The three narratives of the war are indicative for the period of canon liberalization. The offJCial version of the war was offered in O/eksandr Komiychuk's plays, the rehabilitation version was created in Pavlo Tychyna's Funeral of a Friend poem, and the revisionist version is found in O/eksandr Dovzhenko's Ukraine in Flames cinematic novel. The article is aimed at the exploration of similarities, differences and contradictions in artistic interpretations of the war experience. This approach directed toward the analyses of 19411943 Ukrainian literature which can be codified as Soviet propaganda and at the same time as a "true" artistic works depicting the real tragedy of war period.
