Abstract
The article is about cultural conceptions «ours»/»foreign» in pamphlet collection by Yaroslav Halan «Pered lytsem faktiv» [«In front of facts’ face»], which consists of notations, pamphlets and essays that were written after visiting Nurenberg Trial Proceeding. Emphasis is placed on pamphlet as a genre that according to its nature is the condensation of colours with the underlying theme of uncovering, which is characterised by unethical comparison of hyperbolised positive and negative. Here the opposition of «ours»/»foreign» became the basement for the formation of the author’s world perception. It is obvious that inclusion of narration’s object in the «ours» concept often appears to be a linguistic strategy of justification (ascention), on the contrary, such inclusion into the «foreign» concept is a strategy of discredit. The separation of «ours» and «foreign», the creation of the «we are the group» image through profanation of the opponent is a relatively traditional method of political fight that was used by Y. Halan to the full extent. The main filling of the «ours» concept in Y. Halan’s work become Soviet Union’s warriors-winners, USSR in general, «foreign» — fascists-SS’s, that were convicted, «ours» that became «foreign» — OUN-UIA warriors, as well as European countries that regenerate fascism, which the author thinks to be highly dangerous. Semantic conception «foreign» is analysed to a wide extent, which is represented with the portraits of fascists that were convicted (Ribbentrop, Herring, Frank). Emphasis is placed on satiric and other methods of figurativeness. The main value of the collection is the creation of enemies’ portraits with the use of satire and sarcasm. Of course, all of them belong to the semantic conception «foreign». The aim of pamphlet is to awake the feeling of resentment, sometimes hate towards chiefs of Gestapo among readers.
