Summary/Abstract: Unlike many previous ones which contained authors’ socially conditioned interpretationsof Oles Ulianenko’s works, the article suggests an original, poetically determined, psychoanalyticalreading of Zymova povist. As a result, the conclusion is that in this short but aestheticallypowerful work of fiction of unclear genre, plot and theme, the Ukrainian author offers a concentrated,concise presentation of polysemous and expressive archetype images, which are obviously connectedwith social-historical, moral-ethical, and philosophical subject matter which found its in-depth representationin his later literary work. Above all, however, in this particular work of fiction, Ulianenkodepicts how death is defeated by repeated victory.
