This problem has a profound significance for the Ukrainian Humanities, in particular, for literary studies because in Ukraine it is the literary works that serve as a spiritual space which produces “conservative approaches” towards preserving national identity and models of integration of individuals into the context of the others. This type of knowledge is useful for all migrants. The modern history of Ukraine and its current situation, which is determined by the occupation of Crimea by Russia and the war in Donbas, make the project especially urgent. The research focuses on adaptive and integrating practices of the Ukrainian intellectuals who in their literary works reflected, defined, described, and analyzed their migration experiences. As a result, they proposed a number of strategies of coping with the migration trauma. Their experience is extremely helpful for those today’s Ukrainian forced migrants who are looking for solutions of their complicated existential challenges. Object and subject matter of the project.
