Comparative studies devoted to the work of Taras Shevchenko and Mikhail Lermontov began in the 1920s. However, there are still many unresolved problems in this area. An attempt at a comparative psychological-biographical analysis makes it possible to identify the exclusive spiritual kinship of the two poets.

The motifs of dreams appear in all literary works written by Taras Shevchenko. They are present, for example, in several lyric poems and fragments of Journal, reflecting important moments in the poet’s intimate psychodrama. The archetypal analysis of their psycho-symbolic content allows one to reveal the specificities of the poet’s inner life, as well as to trace the patterns of animatic projections of his individual unconscious into external reality.

The text presents the unique friendship between Ira Aldridge (1807–1867), the first Africa–American tragedian and Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861), Ukrainian artist, poet and painter. They met for a short time in 1858, when Aldridge came to St Petersburg to play Shakespeare with a German troupe. Since their lives’ experiences were similar – Aldridge suffered from racial discrimination, while Shevchenko was born as a serf – their friendship was instantaneous. Shevchenko appreciated Aldridge’s theatrical skills and Aldridge highly valued Shevchenko’s art. Aldridge’s portrait painted by Shevchenko is a memento of their meetings and friendship and is exhibited in the Moscow Tretiakov Gallery.

The article deals with adoption of Christian tradition in poetry of Taras Shevchenko. Theoretical basis includes methodological principles of hermeneutics, the philosophicoaesthetic approach to art, cross-cultural methods. On the one hand, the sources of the creative components by Shevchenko’s ethics and aesthetics are related in Christian tradition. On the other hand, as a result of cordocentrist intention of the Ukrainian ethnos, Christian canon was deprived of the big part of rigorism in Old-Kyiv period. Shevchenko’s aesthetic theology is insufficiently investigated but it characterizes the absence of stark categories, dogmas and rituals. It gives an opportunity to speak about the apophatic approach in Shevchenko’s dialectic of God-seeking which appears in the apophatic approach of individual style which also you can find in Old Kyivan authors’ works. The outcome of our investigation proves that the Shevchenko’s adoption of Christian tradition shows the priority of aesthetic and cultural landmarks of Kyiv Christianity.

The study of various aspects of the symbolic biography of Taras Shevchenko is a contemporary direction of modern Ukrainian literary criticism. This article analyzes the mythological and archetypal motifs in Great Mother. They played a special role in the life and work of the poet, who never made up for the slave and orphan complexes. The strategy of symbolic-biographical analysis significantly expands the psychoanalytic context of the study.

The problem of conceptual and stylistic analysis of Taras Shevchenko poetry as an elite strong linguistic Ukrainian personality is described in the article. This approach can be used in the formation of Ukrainian language competence. It is stressed that the phenomenon of Taras Shevchenko’s genius is still not deciphered, it encourages researchers to a new reading of the creativity of his talents, in-depth understanding of his role as a prominent figure of Ukrainian literature and language, culture, history, and philosophy, because Taras Shevchenko was not only the founder of modern Ukrainian literature and literary language, which is still called modern, but was also a great defender of the idea of national revival of everything Slavic, was ready to stand up for each person of any nationality who does good to other people. The general notion of lexeme-ethnonym Ukraine that arises from Taras Shevchenko’s poetic language creativity is a concept (logical constant), and also word images, discourses and texts, in which it is referred to. Therefore, Ukraine is a key dominant of the poet’s language consciousness and structural-art paradigm of his poetry that reveals the deeper meaning of the poetic attitude, perception and worldview. As the meaningful core of Ukraine the concept of Ukraine is the syncretic polysyllabic word image – the carrier of historiosophical, natiosophical signs of ethnicity and historical and cultural memory. In this semantically versatile word image appears Ukraine in Taras Shevchenko’s works, in conjunction with his political, religious, moral, ethical and aesthetic views, intellectual evolution in the course of life. Taras Shevchenko consciously treated the creation of the new Ukrainian literature and language. His art works, paintings, diaries and letters show that he had studied all his life and anywhere he was, he willingly communicated with intelligent and decent people, regardless of nationality, especially with educated countrymen. He was looking for a spark of God that will develop cultural forces to the future liberation of Ukrainian people. He used his visits to Ukraine to meet personally with writers, scientists, known landowners, industrialists, to recall the past glory, the modern troubles and needs of conscious reasonable work for the future benefit of Ukraine.

This article is a part of the bigger work entitled The Ambivalence of Byzantism in Taras Shevchenko’s Writings. The aim of the article is studying the problem of perception and interpretation of the mytheme of Jerusalem in the works by Taras Shevchenko. The crosscultural, semiotic, hermeneutic and comparative analyses allow for discovering deep semantic levels of the “Jerusalem” loci in the works by T. Shevchenko, for clearing out its subtexts and for defining its poetic structure and the levels of the artistic interpretation. In the result of the analyses it has been found that the association “Kiev–Jerusalem” in the works by Shevchenko has its loci of various meanings, which have been formed in the course of a long trajectory within the historic space. The mytheme “Jerusalem” is realized primarily in its Biblical and genetic aspect. The contents of the “Jerusalem idea” proves Shevchenko’s solid knowledge of the Old Testament dogmas in the field of the Judaic history and culture. The resemblance of/between Kiev and Jerusalem is formed on the basis of [the] allegories, the poetical means aiming at the context reading with regard to the urgent social and historic reality. Introducing the mytheme “Jerusalem” into a discourse of fiction, T. Shevchenko accounts for actualization/transposition of its Biblical semantic field/range unto the social, political, cultural and spiritual needs of the epoch. The image of Kiev in Shevchenko’s works has strong sacred characteristics/connotations which indirectly correlate with Christian viewpoints. The importance of Kiev as the spiritual habitable globe is underlined by frequent recollections about numeruous temples, monasteries, saints, monks, icons, pilgrimage traditions, etc. The results of the research can be used for courses in the Ukrainian History of Literature and Theory, for text-books and training aids, for further comparative studies of Shevchenko’s works. The results of the study are addressed to philologists and researchers of the Ukrainian literature. The academic novelty of this article lies in the fact that the mytheme “Jerusalem” in Shevchenko’s works has for the first time become the object of individual research and that theoretic aspects and comparative typological levels of this problem have been elaborated.

Between the past and the future: Mass Rallies as the staging of the Ukrainian National Project (1911–1914) (Summary)In this paper the internal interactions between the Ukrainian political groups are analyzed. Two rallies, commemorating the great Ukrainian poet, Taras Shevchenko, serve as a lens through which to observe the complex nature of the “Ukrainian national project.” When looking at the Ukrainian rallies of 1911 and 1914, specific focus is paid to the internal and external factors which led to the restructuring of the Ukrainian national project. In particular, the paper focuses on the organization, structure, and contexts of these commemorative events, as well as the organizers and people attending them. The analysis is centered of their political views, socio-economic background, age, gender, and education, thus allowing the author to trace the appearance of new symbols, new ways of using public spaces in the city, the dissemination of rituals and, finally, to comment on how these new approaches shaped the commemorative landscape in general. The author argues that to understand the polical interraction and transition of the Ukrainian narrative from cultural nationalism to military nationalism, three interwoven elements should be taken into consideration: the revision of the Taras Shevchenko cult; the creation of a new historical narrative and the new approach to public space, used as a stage for national ideas.

The reception of relations between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches by the Ukrainian national consciousness was largely formed by a romantic myth. It appeared in the works by Taras Shevchenko, in the documents of the the Brotherhood of Saints Cyril and Methodius. According to this myth, the Church Union of Brest (1596) was the result of the colonial policy of the Polish government and the intrigues of the Jesuit priests. In fact, the influence of the royal administration on the religious life of the inhabitants of the Polish-Lithuanian state was extremely limited. „Henrician Articles” of 1573 forced the king to adhere to religious tolerance and to recognize the nobility’s right to free choice of religion. The Roman Catholic clergy, for the most part, did not want to grant Christians the Eastern rite of parity. The Society of Jesus, which formed a separate province in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1574, was guided not by political but by religious motives. Benedict Herbest (1531–1598) already in his work „Wypisanie drogi” („The Desribing of The Way”, 1566) discusses the prospect of restoring unity with the Orthodox Ruthenians. In the book „Wiary Kościołu Rzymskiego wywody” („The Arguments of the Roman Church’ Belief”) he explains Ruthenia’s departure from unity with Rome by lack of education and low religious consciousness. Piotr Skarga (1536–1612) wrote the book „O jedności Kościoła Bożego” („About the God’s Church’s Unity”, 1577), when he had not great authority in the Church and when he was little known in society. At the Brest synod in 1596 Skarga was not a participant and organizer, but only an observer and chronicler. Both Herbest and Skarga were only inflammatory polemicists who responded to the challenge of the Reform by calling for the consolidation of the Church in a single organism. The romantic myth is refuted by a closer acquaintance with their works and life experience.

The article is about important historical and theoretical aspects of international interaction in Humanitarian sphere on the example of reception of Taras Shevchenko's poetry in new Bulgarian literature in the second half of the nineteenth century. The article studies the impact that the poetry by an outstanding Ukrainian author had on the creative works created by a constellation of the first Bulgarian professional men of letters, in particular Rayko Zhinzifov, Lyuben Karavelov, Petko Slaveykov and Ivan Vazov. They considered this poetry as an example to follow and a basis for improving their own literary art. The attention is paid to the translation practice of these authors rendering the poetic heritage of Taras Shevchenko accessible for the wide Bulgarian reading public then. At the same time, the article covers the origins of Shevchenko studies in Ukraine and Bulgaria.

The article attempts to analyze the causes of Taras Szevchenko’s loneliness in his personal life through the scientific apparatus of Carl Gustav Jung’s analytical psychology. The dynamics of the processes that took place in the inner spheres of the poet’s soul, struggling throughout his life with the trauma of orphanhood, shows that it was the mother complex that largely conditioned his complicated relations with women. Exploring various aspects of the poet’s intimate biography, including content from the areas of the individual unconscious, allows researchers to overcome the one-side perception of his character and creative legacy, which, until recently, was limited to mostly historical-literary and social-political interpretations. The study of Shevchenko’s phenomenon provides for a comprehensive approach, taking into account, among other things, suppressed (unconscious) motives for his actions, creative impulses and unrealized plans.

W artykule omówiono wizję wolności, jaka wyłania się z opowiadań, pamiętników i listów Tarasa Szewczenki. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań autor dochodzi do wniosku, że idea wolności jawi się jako kluczowa w twórczości T. Szewczenki. Autor dowodzi także, że pojęcie wolności w spuściźnie T. Szewczenki jest skorelowane z ideą godności człowieka oraz jest nierozerwalnie powiązane z tradycją chrześcijańską. T. Szewczenko, zdaniem autora, zwłaszcza tragiczne losy wędrownych liryków (Kobziarzy) postrzegał jako przykład ludzkich zmagań o wolność.

The assimilation of Byzantine culture in the Slavic lands was accompanied by the exegesis of the New Testament and the formation of the phenomenal value of symbolic images, which were part of the literary and artistic consciousness of that time. The force field of Christian archetypes has preserved a long tradition in the Ukrainian literature. Christian archetypes of the Resurrection and the Crucifixion in Shevchenko’s painting and literary work are studied with modern approaches to comparative literature and theological exegesis, taking into account artistic Christology, philosophical and aesthetic approach to art, and key ideas of archetypal interpretation. It is found out that, in Shevchenko’s poetry, the archetypes of the Resurrection and the Crucifixion are manifested in a number of modifications, where resurrection / crucifixion has a symbolic meaning in the sense of the resurrection / crucifixion of Ukraine, the resurrection / crucifixion of the people, the resurrection / crucifixion of a lyrical hero, etc. In painting, Christian archetypes are directly related to the transmission of the New Testament history.

The paper is devoted to the study of mediation and mediators in ego-documentary prose. The are nine possibilities of mediation formation in the diary (Taras Shevchenko’s “Diary” is taken as a sample): 1) by means of memories, 2) as dictated by heart, 3) by means of emotional temporitum, 4) through the actualization of personalities, 5) as an imitation of the previous genre form, 6) as revision of the past, 7) in dreams, 8) by means of language expression, 9) by using the Bible. Shevchenko’s journal is characterized by the movement of everyday life to the realm of the transcendent. If in the literature of Romanticism the mediators are usually located in the transcendent, then in Shevchenko to this classical landmark of the Romantics is added everyday life as dreamed and transcendent.

In his article, Vasyl Pakharenko explores the logic of deepening literary interpretations of Taras Shevchenko’s image in the prose of the artist and discovers the differences of this image in poetry and prose. If the lyrical hero of the poetic texts demonstrates a determined, uncompromising nationalism, then the narrator in the diary and short stories is rather a territorial patriot. And yet, he thinks of himself as located in the socio-cultural space of the Russian Empire, expresses critical views on the Koliivshchina, resorts to the Russian language, emphasises Enlightenment values, and demonstrates the masculine type of writing. All this testifies to the deviation from the romantic to the previous, classicist, tradition. That type of prose refinement is caused by the forced compromise of the artist with the empire in the conditions of brutal terror during the exile. There are several interpretations of such a position of an author in literary studies: Shevchenko’s diplomatic attempt to re-educate liberal Russian and Ukrainian intelligentsia (P. Zaitsev), psychological dualism of the “adapted” and “unadapted” personalities of the writer (G. Grabovich), distinctive forms of expression of the holistic image of the author (V. Smilyancka). Each of these positions has its own logic, but is characterised by a certain one-sidedness. The nature of Shevchenko’s compromise becomes clear if we take into account the peculiarities of carnival tactics of the spiritual survival of the artist in the conditions of the world. This is a creation of a kind of author’s mask, a game with stereotypes of the dominant culture and public consciousness.
