Summary/Abstract: The author of the review analyses the book of professor Yaroslav Polishchuk Boundary Identity. Odessa of the XX Century. This geopoetical study opens before its reader the whole world of the history and art of the city which played an important role on the cultural map of Ukraine. Speaking about the identity of Odessa and its inhabitants nowadays, we have to say that there are a lot of representations of it. The struggle between the images of the imperiled province and the contemporary Ukrainian port center influences the cultural identification of the city. The review reveals all the ways in which the researcher tries to represent the original image of this metropolis in artistic works and visions.
