Abstract
In modern literary is very important to make a deconstruction approach (in the broadest sense) in the history of literature, focus our research attention on overcoming colonialism forms and models of integration (or reintegration) of new literature in the modern social and cultural space. Modern literary needs conceptually coherent revision of previous cultures and historical canons and traditions, particularly in terms of revising approaches "structures of power" (Foucault). The proposed studies will use to postcolonial reading of the poem "Moses" by Ivan Franco. Almost for the first time in Ukrainian literary prophetic vision, which contains a poem will be deciphered as not optimistic. The article modified poem by Ivan Franco "Moses" as a visionary of prophetic utopia, which, on the one hand, marked the author's need to understand his own life, on the other - provides an understanding within an allusion space "Jewish people - the Ukrainian people" not optimistic future prospects of Ukraine because of its colonized status. The writer argues that people brought up in slavery, even reaching the promised land of God / receiving state will not be able to implement their own national identity. In the vision of Ivan Franco Ukrainian nation appears oppressed, those who did not recognize his characters, does not have its own word. Moses in parables calls it the worst of all the other (do not have any talent). The biggest faults of the people are weaned from their mother tongue and therefore the loss of metaphysical weapons. Moses has associated himself with the a victim, who own useless people. Predicting the emergence of Jews active leader Joshua, but he points out that his destiny is suffering. He wants his people "shone among of free" (prologue), but it implies "forever anguish and horror."
