Colonial desire belongs to the category of postcolonial studies referring to representations sexually featured which symbolizes consolidation and taking control of earth and its inhabitants. In this type of descriptions one could reach for the gender categories by creating male figures of colonizers and effeminate natives. Colonial desire coexisted among Polish nobility in Ukraine where its projections were present in Polish literature. The article is an attempt to compare the chosen Ukrainian and Polish narrations from the turn of the 20th century. On the one hand I analyze, basing on the assumptions of postcolonialism and gender studies, a motif of colonial desire in Kajetan Abgarowicz’s and Stanisław Grudziński’s prose, but on the other hand a motif of sexual abuse of the Ukrainians in selected Ivan Franko’s works. The latter one, I interpret, as a part of Ukrainian counter-discourse that disparages noble colonialism.
