Oksana Stefaniwna Sabuschko ( Ukrainian Оксана Стефанівна Забужко ; born September 19, 1960 in Lutsk , Ukrainian SSR ) is a Ukrainian writer, poet and essayist. Sabushko writes about Ukrainian identity and often uses feminist and post-colonial methodology .

Live and act

Oksana Sabuschko studied after graduating from the Kiev University . In 1987 she entered the CPSU , followed by her doctorate at the Philosophical Institute of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in the same year. In the 1990s she was visiting professor at American universities ( Penn State , Pittsburgh and Harvard University ). She is currently the Vice President of the Ukrainian Pen Center, teaches creative writing at Kiev University and writes regularly for magazines and magazines on literary topics.

Her work has been translated into several languages ​​and has been a. awarded the Global Commitment Foundation Poetry Prize 1997. Sabuschko has published several volumes of poetry, several short stories and political-philosophical studies since the mid-1980s.

In her essay Planet Wermut , published in May 2012 , a collection of partly not entirely new texts, Oksana Sabuschko tries to explain Ukraine, this “last territory of Europe”, and its historical tragedies.

Oksana Sabuschko notes that her generation of writers, also known as the Chernobyl generation, has so far hardly dealt with the catastrophe in literary terms, as the 20th century is still undigested for them.

During the Revolution of Dignity , her negative attitude towards Russia increased, saying it was an "imported nightmare" of a "megalomaniac, intricate, well-thought-out script that our country should be set on fire and apparently destroyed". She also made it clear that Yanukovych and his party played a leading role after this script, but certainly not written it themselves, the author was clearly a madman. In May 2014, she could hardly believe that a new type of war was being waged against Ukraine:

“Basically, Putin's empire is a pure media structure. (...) We lost the information war against Russia even before we understood that a war was being waged against us at all. "

- Oksana Sabushko

Later, on the Russian invasion and propaganda, she found that they did the opposite of what was intended; they help to strengthen the cultural identity and independence of cultural institutions in Ukraine.

In December 2016 she was one of the signatories of the appeal of the Berlin International Literature Festival "End the mass murder in Aleppo!" , Which is directed against the "bombing war by Russian President Putin in the Syrian city ​​of Aleppo ".
