Sažetak
The author analyzes specific aspects of the Revolution of Dignity (2013–2014) which became the seminal event for contemporary Ukraine and was described in various literary texts. The chronicle-documentary versions of Euromaidan are compared as presented in collective books, anthologies and reports written by authors such as Andrii Kurkov, Sonya Koshkina, and others, as well as artistic visions of the event in the novels of Olena Zakharchenko, Victoria Amelina, Stepan Protsiuk, and Mark Rudnevych. Characteristic features of the analyzed works are the mixing of discourses (nonfiction and fiction), the subjectivization of the narrative and its extreme intensification. The multiplicity of cultural visions and artistic projects related to the understanding of the Revolution of Dignity, testifies to the great potential of Ukrainian literature, its elasticity and responsiveness to the reader’s needs and expectations. Ukrainian writers offer understanding of a significant social event through the prism of private human stories, affirming the right to the truth.
