Abstract

The article focuses on analyzing the diaries of the Ukrainian women, their personal experience of migration during the Russian- Ukrainian war, which began with the Revolution of Dignity November 21, 2013, or the Eurorevolution, Euromaidan, the place where the events developed. It is when the Ukrainian people protested against the then prorussian leadership and its rejection of the course towards the European integration. The Heavenly Hundred February 20, 2014 is the first hundred killed insurgents in this Revolution, which continued with war. Russians did not recognize their invasion of Ukraine. They annexed Crimea too quickly – March 18, 2014. Then the Donetsk region – April 7, 2014, criminally forming the separatist, puppet Donetsk People’s Republic and, April 27, 2014, the Luhansk People’s Republic. Therefore, we are currently witnessing the period of development of a new literature about the war, which seeks an academic attention in order to analyze its multigenre, reader reception, artistic and historical value, influence on the creation of the contemporary literary canon. The diary genre was the first, after poetry, to react to this genocidal war. The diaries of O. Kari, N. Sukhorukova, and T. Belimova attracted the attention of readers, scholars, film directors, and the European community. The genre of the diary is a vivid example of auto-documentary prose, which is provocative, extraordinary, relevant in its content, form and functions, constantly developing and acquiring new genre modifications. The post-colonial approach to the analysis of diaries’ texts as historical evidence makes it possible to talk about trauma, life in trauma, colonialism, colonizer, imperial thinking, violent imposition of a totalitarian regime.
