This path-breaking study challenges the simplistic east-west division commonly applied to post-Soviet Ukraine, instead presenting Ukrainian and Russian cultural components in eastern Ukraine as part of a complex continuum rather than opposing forces.

Where Currents Meet by Tanya Zaharchenko

Where Currents Meet, Tanya Zaharchenko's path-breaking study of literature and cultural memory, moves decisively beyond the simplistic view of a post-Soviet Ukraine divided between east and west. It positions the Ukrainian and Russian components of cultural experience in the country's east as elements of a complex continuum. Combining insights from memory studies and border studies, Zaharchenko analyzes a generation of younger riters in the city of Kharkiv - a 'doubletake generation' that came of age at the time of the Soviet Union's collapse and now revisits this experience through fiction. In the works of Serhiy Zhadan, Andree Krasniashchikh, Yuri Tsaplin, Oleh Kotsarev, and others the author reveals how borderlands and frontiers, both geographical and conceptual, acquire zonal qualities of their own as these writers navigate the historical legacy they have inherited.
Tanya Zaharchenko (MSc Oxon 2007, PhD Cantab 2014) was the 2015 Einstein Fellow in Germany, and is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in Ukrainian Studies at the University of Oslo.
