Oksana Zabuzhko. Notre Dame d’Ukraine: Ukrainka v konflikti mifolohiy. /third edition, supplemented/. (Ukrainka in the Conflict of Mythologies)

"Who are we – Ukraine or Small Russia? Europe or Russia? Is Ukrainian religion the same thing as Byzantine orthodoxy? Where did Templar knights come from to the Dnipro banks? What secret were "secret communities" of Small Russia nobility of the 19^th century keeping? Were from the Grail legend appeared encoded in the "Forest Song"? How and are Ukrainians actually a "peasant nation"? What is the difference between democracy and hamocracy? What did the modern "Ukrainian project" lie in and have we succeeded in implementing it?..
The new book by the leading Ukrainian author, a summary result of her long-term reflections – this is a thrilling intellectual trip through centuries, cultures and confessions searching for the "Ukraine we have lost". The key to it is the "Lesya Ukrainka" code deciphered by O.Zabuzhko. An aristocrat and heretic, heiress of an ancient knight family and developer of the tradition of gnosticism, this most prominent Ukrainian remained not understood in the soviet Ukraine and almost unknown to the wide public – in the independent Ukraine. Why? The answer to this question is the great historical drama of the "hidden war" that Oksana Zabuzhko with courage characteristic of her brings back from oblivion and, based on the highly rich literary and historical material, restores to its full.
This is not only a fundamental history and literature study or a refined philological exegetics. This is also a book about out contemporaneity – about what a high price we pay for the loss and oblivion of the centuries-old knight culture..."
