Abstract
The author of the article analyses how literary text can be a cultural instrument for overcoming the traumatic experience of war. Ongoing events in the Donbass prove that manipulating with the historical consciousness of the inhabitants of this region of Ukraine and important events from the past have become the reasons for a new military implosion between the colonized and colonizer. Literary texts published in the last few years not only reflect the Russian-Ukrainian war in eastern Ukraine but also shed light on the consequences of Soviet colonization, which played the main role in the process of mental separation of this region. In the context of post-communist society transformations, the Donbass war is similar to the military conflicts in Transnistria, Georgia and, above all, to the war in former Yugoslavia. Contemporary literary texts are the most accurate examples of it from the point of view of the traumatic experience of culture.
