The novel about Maidan”, Serhiy Loika's “Airport”, Serhiy Zhadan's “Boarding”, Tamara Gorikha Zernya's “Daughter”, as well as the newest poetry of Ihor Astapenko, Lyudmila Horova, Tetiana Vlasova, Anna Maligon. The subject of studies is the analysis of transformation and manifestation of individual traumatic experience, which correlates with the collective memory of Ukrainians.

The study should have five parts (five rooms), each of which will be devoted to the analysis of a specific work of art using the memory studies methodology, except for the last section. In the fifth chapter (fifth room), I plan to explore the work of four poets, which represents the signs of collective memory, manifested in modern poetry.
