Abstract

Abstract Background: The scientific sorabic works of Professor V. A. Motornyy includes more than 50 scientific articles, reviews, reports on Lusatian topics and in general gives an opportunity to look into different periods of Lusatian-Ukrainian literary and cultural relations. The works of the scholar on the literature of Sorbian Lusatia, on Michał August Kral, the founder of Ukrainian literary studies in Lusatia, on the development of Ukrainian Sorbian studies, on Lusatian motives in Ukrainian literature, etc. are invaluable. V. A. Motornyy is the winner of the prestigious Domovina Prize in 2002, which he received for his services in the development of Sorbian studies in Ukraine and for disseminating, in particular in the form of publications, knowledge about Lusatian Serbs. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to draw public attention to the works of Professor Motornyy, which were published in Ukrainian, Lusatian, and Hungarian periodicals magazines and collections. We will take into account the most important for inter-Slavic cultural and literary contacts of the professor's articles, published in Ukraine and abroad, namely, in magazines and collections “Questions of Sorbian studies”, “Lĕtopis”, “Práce z dĕjin slavistiky”, “Studia Slavica Savariensia”. Results: The works of V. A. Motornyy on the Sorbian theme, which are essential in the All-Slavic context. His rich Sorbian heritage gives reason to hope that over the years it will not be forgotten what the famous researcher of literature and culture of the Lusatian Serbs devoted his scientific research to, that his scientific achievements will be necessary for future generations of Slavists. Over time, there are some transformations in scientific approaches to individual facts, their interpretations by literary science. Modern works of Lusatian, Polish and other foreign researchers will undoubtedly continue the scientific traditions of the Ukrainian scientist. Key words: V. А.
