A new trend prevailed in modern literature for several years: there were many works about the
events of the Revolution of Dignity and the Russian-Ukrainian war in Donbass. These topics became
a challenge for contemporary authors - well-known masters of the word and novice writers. Ukrainian
women authors, in particular M. Matios, I. Rozdobudko, H. Vdovychenko, O. Zakharchenko, L.
Orliak, H. Kyrpa and others accepted the demand of the present day. In their novels and stories
they expressed their own vision of the Revolution victims of 2013–2014, when Ukrainians defended
their right of free choice on Maidan, as well as the Donbass War (since 2014). The ordinary citizens,
yesterday's civilians then became an army and went to defend Donbass from militants and Russian
mercenaries. The paper analyzes these works in the context of other editions on Maidan and ATO, and
investigates the literary-critical discourse around the texts. The researcher points out several stages
in the development of the mentioned topic, exploring and describing its specifics and transformations,
paying special attention to the characters of heroes-contemporaries. According to the author, it is
they who are capable of destroying the myths and stereotypes of domestic literature from previous
decades, and presenting a new hero – a socially active Ukrainian who is able to resist and ready for
changes in the name of the new Ukraine. The author also draws attention to the so-called non-fiction,
‘trench prose’ literature, fact sheet, and documentary literature. There is an attempt to convincingly
argue and prove that the present inclination to documentary in fiction is not a mere personal author’s
preference, but a regular feature of modern literature. In addition, having adopted the rules of fiction
and a traditional literary plot, writers were able to artistically summarize the facts and real life stories
that embody humanistic pathos and a national idea.
