The Armed Conflict in Ukraine and its Representation in Contemporary Ukrainian Literature. Margaryta Surzhenko’s АТО. Історії зі Сходу на Захід.
The essay examines Margaryta Surzhenko’s novel АТО. Історії зі Сходу на Захід (2015). In the context of the ongoing fighting in the Donbass area, this type of narrative brings reflection to the national identity of the inhabitants of Eastern Ukraine and their escape from the war zone. The author focuses not only on the migration but also on the information space (pro-Russian) under the influence of which the inhabitants of Donbass lived their whole lives. Ordinary people suddenly found themselves in the center of a dangerous armed conflict. Such a course of the situation needs to be analyzed in the context of the long-term coexistence of Russians and Ukrainians, as well as the influence of power in those areas. Changing the balance of power in the region affected ordinary residents, often forcing them to escape.
