Abstract

The article highlights Ukrainian-Turkish relationships in literature, originating from oral folklore, ballads, and historical songs since the 16th century to the present day. It emphasizes that literary communications between Ukraine and Turkey are primarily due to their close geographical proximity, intertwined geopolitics, and historical, economic, and cultural interrelations between both nations. Based on literary works, the article distinguishes key stages in Ukrainian-Turkish relationships in Ukrainian literature from the 16th to the 20th centuries and examines how individual and group-based Ukrainian identities in Ukrainian folklore of the 16th-17th centuries were formed in interaction with Turkish identities. Starting from the 19th century, changes in the context of social and political processes cause communicative vectors in literary works to change as well. Important aspects of Ukrainian-Turkish literary communication are discussed.
