Summary/Abstract: Metaphor of the Donbas is the main subject of the analysis in the suggested article. We can find it in the texts on the culture, which belong to the period of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. The image of this region is formed by three metaphors: industrial, soviet and post-industrial. For today they have lost their function. The process of creating of a new identity is very difficult because of the negation of the stereotypes of the past. It is reflected in the contemporary literary texts by Oleksiy Chupa, Oleksandra Ivaniuk, Volodymyr Rafeyenko, Liubov Yakymchuk.
