This chapter offers a new view of post-Soviet Ukrainain literary memory as expressed in varous texts, redefining the role of clashing narratives of the past under the divisive political and social conditions of upheavals, crises, and military conflicts. The chapter makes a major contribution to research on Ukrainian literature during the final years of the USSR, as well as in the 1990s, and especially in the 21st century. The main aim is to research literature, and literary (narrative) scenarios and texts, as a medium that forms and transfigures cultural and social memory in Ukraine after 1991. Also rhetorical devices, strategies for forming meaning, and, most importantly, dissimilarities between Ukrainian, Belorussian and especially Russian literary and cultural consciousness will be studied.
