This study focuses on the composer Stefania Turkevic, who immigrated to Britain after the Second World War (1946), as part of a large group of Ukrainians fleeing Stalin?s repressions. The forced emigration left an indelible mark on her consciousness and largely shaped her career in exile, which foundered and ultimately led to her obscurity as a creative artist. The main aim of this article is to analyse the psychological aspects of what ostensibly seems a poorly managed career in order to find answers to the question why such an experienced composer failed to take her place in British musical culture and went unrecognized as a composer even among the Ukrainian diaspora in Britain, except for a few minor events
