Abstract

The article highlights a set of problems of ego-documents (diaries, epistolary, etc. of Ivan Dziuba, Les’ Tanyuk, Ivan Svitlychny, Iryna Zhylenko, Valery Shevchuk, Mykhailyna Kotsyubynska, Svitlana Kyrychenko, etc.) in the discourse of the Ukrainian sixtiers. It is emphasized that these documentary testimonies with a powerful factor of subjective “I” reflect a slice of the era of “liberated freedom”, when the debunking of Stalin’s cult of personality and Khrushchev Thaw led to a new generation of Ukrainian intellectuals, more broadly – of the Ukrainian sixtiers. This was a new stage in the social and socio-cultural transformation of Ukrainian society in the conditions of sub-imperial Ukraine and the attempts of dissidents to free themselves from this enslavement. The open dialogue with a specific addressee or appeals to the addressee of imaginary ego-discourse, the “spiritual situation of the day” is presented because of confession. The period was the middle or second half of the 20th century. The research focus is on the unconquered human self in complex transformational, often borderline (further harassment, arrests, exile) conditions.
