Empire, Literature and “Archeology of Ignorance”: (Re-)reading Ewa Thompson’s Imperial Knowledge During the War
The article draws on Ewa Thompson’s concept of Imperial Knowledge as developed in her seminal book on Russian Literature and Colonialism, and understood here as a system of narratives developed by imperial ideologues (including cultural activists) with two intertwined goals: to glorify the empire, its supposedly great, “universal” culture and “unique” historical role, and, on the other hand, to undermine and depreciate the cultures of subordinate…
Calling a Spade a Spade: How to Unwrap a Genocidal Essence from the Kremlin Anti-Ukrainian Rhetoric
The sheer number and scale of the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Russian military in Ukraine since the beginning of their all-out invasion, has prompted many experts and politicians to define this brutality as a genocide and seek for the prosecution of perpetrators under international law.The lawyers are cautious in this regard, however, maintaining that crucial element of the criminal case -the clear-cut proof of a genoc…
Morphological Analysis of Narratives of the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict in Western Academia and Think-Tank Community
This paper examines representations of the ongoing conflict in and around Ukraine by scholars and policy analysts in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, and Poland. Combining strategic narrative analysis and conceptual morphology, we deconstruct the main narratives of the conflict, identify the structural concepts of each narrative and analyze their use. We identify six key narratives of the Russian–Ukrainian confli…

Ukrainians as Russia’s negative ‘other: History comes full circle
The ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, euphemistically called the “Ukraine crisis,” draws attention to its ideological underpinnings that include a historically informed Russian hegemonic view of Ukrainians as “younger brothers” who should be both patronized and censured for improper behavior. The paper examines a particular aspect of this superior attitude as embedded in ethnic stereotypes – both “vernacular”, primarily in folklore, and ideologically …
Two Ukraines’ Reconsidered: The End of U krainian Ambivalence
The 2014 R usso‐ U krainian war, euphemistically called the ‘ U kraine crisis’, has largely confirmed, on certain accounts, a dramatic split of the country and people's loyalties between the proverbial ‘East’ and ‘West’, between the ‘ E urasian’ and ‘ E uropean’ ways of development epitomized by R ussia and the E uropean Union. By other accounts, however, it has proved that the U krainian nation is much more united than many experts and policymak…
Ukraine’s ‘muddling through: National identity and postcommunist transition
The paper argues that the profoundidentity split strongly influencesUkraine’s postcommunist development, precluding effectively consolidation of any political system – either democratic or authoritarian. In most cases, the identity issue supersedes all other issues on the agendas of political parties and largely determines the character and results of electoral rivalry, and the way in which both domestic and international politics is viewed and a…
