The Gene of Holodomor as a Component of Post-1991 Ukrainian Identity: Literary Reminiscences

This paper explores how the consequences and trauma of the Holodomor are manifested in the generation of children and grandchildren of those who endured the Great Famine. By analysing the works of contemporary Ukrainian women writers, the study investigates how these authors engage with the legacy of the Holodomor in their literary creations and identify the central reference points that shape their narratives. This paper situates these literary representations within the broader context of postmemory and intergenerational trauma, offering insights into how Holodomor has been a part of Ukrainian identity and cultural memory.
