[close] [EN] Ukrainian literature encompasses literature written in Ukrainian language. Unfortunately, even in the beginning of the 21st century, Ukrainian literature is still hugely unknown around the world. This is mostly due to the fact that the majority of Ukraine's territory has been a colony of the Russian Empire/USSR for more than 300 years, where Ukrainian language and publications in it were either openly or covertly forbidden. Nonetheless, Ukrainian literature offers many excellent novelists and poets, including both classics such as Tarash Shevchenko, Ivan Franko, Ivan Koteliarevsky and Lesia Ukrayinka as well as contemporary authors such as Yuri Andrukhovych, Yuriy Izdryk, Taras Prokhasko, Oksana Zabuzhko and Serhiy Zhadan [UKR] Українська література охоплює літературу, написану українською мовою. На жаль, навіть на початку 21 століття українська література все ще надзвичайно невідома у всьому світі. Це пов'язано з тим, що більшість територій України вже понад 300 років є колонією Російської імперії / СРСР, де українська мова та публікації в ній були відкрито або приховано заборонені. Тим не менше, українська література пропонує чимало чудових романістів і поетів, зокрема класиків, таких як Тараш Шевченко, Іван Франко, Іван Котеляревський та Леся Українка, а також сучасних авторів, таких як Юрій Андрухович, Юрій Іздрик, Тарас Прохасько, Оксана Забужко та Сергій Жадан
