Jermolenko has mainly devoted himself to the conflict between modern and anti-modern. "Individuality", "Freedom", "Renewal" and "Criticism" are his subject areas. Along with Konstantin Sigov and Iryna Slawinska, he is one of the smaller group of francophile Kiev scholars. After familiarizing the Ukrainians with the world and the work of the philosopher and flaneur Walter Benjamin , he began to devote himself above all to the French master thinkers in the past and present. Since studying in Paris he has been friends with several contemporary French philosophers and sociologists. In the form of essays he brings these and other important thinkers of the 20th century closer to the intellectual Ukrainian audience. At the latest in the times of the Euromajdans , he became known as a blogger on Facebook. His essays have been published since 2001 in magazines such as “Krytyka” and “Korydor”. Interviews and articles appeared in well-known Western European daily newspapers. His texts have been translated into Russian, Polish, Czech, French, English, German and Dutch. His essay volume from 2015 characterizes his mediating hermeneutic perspective, “Daleky blis'ky”, “Far Next”. The great thinkers are presented as topical in their basic questions in a biographically approaching approach. In 2017 he published his first novel “Ocean Catcher - The Story of Odysseus”, in which Odysseus made his return trip from Ithaca to Troy and turned out to be an early flaneur. Jermolenko has been head of the “Ukraine / World” media project since 2019.
