Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to systematise the strategies of constructing Ukrainian his-torical memory during the 30 years of independent Ukraine. The focus is not only on the official policy of remembrance (or lack thereof ), but also on how the memory of historical events reaches the wider public through the media or culture and literature. The research describes the role of (micro)narratives of wit-nesses to history and subsequent generations growing up in the shadow of the post-colonial and post-totalitarian legacy in the formation of the national mem-ory in post-1991 Ukraine.
