CONTEMPORARY WAR IN THE WORKS OF UKRAINIAN WRITERS AND MEMOIRS OF PARTICIPANTS

Journal Title: Закарпатські філологічні студії - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

The article reviews the works of contemporary Ukrainian authors about the tragic events that until recently were called ATO, but their scale and tragedy is a war. The research covers the works of several authors who analyze events from different angles, as well as memoirs of the soldiers themselves who went volunteers to defend Ukraine. The peculiarity of the analyzed material is the approach to describing the events described by the direct participant in the fighting and the inhabitants of the eastern regions, in the eyes of which these events unfolded, as well as a gender factor in covering the problems of writers (such as Svetlana Talan, Galina Vdovichenko, Yevgeny Polozhii and others). Characteristic for these works is the tendency towards documentary coverage with the chronological fixation of all stages of the confrontation, which began in autumn 2013 in Kiev on the Maidan and continues to this day already in the East of Ukraine. The plot and structure of works are different, but combined with one idea – to recreate events impartially from the words of those who were in the midst of a bloody war.
