Abstract

An experience of the past, without any doubt, is the construct of national identity. It does not depend on the socio-cultural discourse. It is important to look at the traumatic experience, which not only influences the forming of contemporary social consciousness, but determines the behavior of society in the conditions of new historic challenges. An example can be traumatic memory of the Ukrainians. Now, with the advent of a new threat to independence, this trauma is returning twice as powerful. Literature has traditionally become the most active instrument of perceiving and reflecting such processes, while at the same time fulfilling the function of cultural therapy against the traumatized totalitarian past.
