manuscript.

      My own field research and life experience in Simferopol’, Kyiv, L’viv, Kharkiv, Donets’k, Dnipro and Odesa, where I lived for several weeks and months throughout 2010–19, gave me the opportunity to grasp the heterogeneous social and cultural dynamics in Ukraine. As a result of the research fellowship term at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (2013), and exchange fellowships at the Ivan Franko National University of L’viv (2018) and at the Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University (2019), I had the chance to talk with several academics, literary actors and friends, which enriched my knowledge about Ukraine, taking an active part in the search for potential answers to the research questions included in this book. I would like to express my gratitude to them and also to all the people who have shared their insights on the issue in both the academic and extra-academic contexts, in Italy and abroad. Last but not least, I am thankful to Chiara and my family for tolerating the solitary activity of writing and supporting me every step of the way.

      The transliteration of Ukrainian and Russian names, terms and geographic locations follows the Library of Congress system, without diacritic signs. In the case of Ukrainian Russian-language authors, I followed the transliteration system from Russian: throughout the book it is possible to find some exceptions, since in most cases these authors are bilingual in everyday life and present their own names also according to the Ukrainian transliteration system. Unless otherwise indicated, translations from Russian and Ukrainian included in this book are mine, as are any errors or misinterpretations.

       Index

      In the contemporary context, diasporization and hybridity have become conditions for novel ways of “translating the world” […] The question of whether we should talk about one global Russian culture or many finds an answer only provisionally and, paradoxically, locally. (Rubins 2019: 46)
