ДОСВІД ЛОКАЛЬНОЇ ІДЕНТИЧНОСТІ
EXPERIENCE OF LOCAL IDENTITY

Summary/Abstract: In the article the cultural reflection of the physicality of Donbass has been researched. As the example of such question’s description in the contemporary literature the author chose Oleksiy Chupa’s novel The Tales of My Shelter (Казки мого бомбосховища, 2014). The problem of the researching of Donetsk’s identity consists in the very fact that there is no clear manifestation of it in the modern culture. The heroes of the researched novel are typical inhabitants of Donbass: the “grey” people for whom primitive customs and physical needs are the most important and very often just hidden. Donetsk’s experience of physicality, as the novel of Oleksiy Chupa shows, appeals to the typical existential situation which is ac¬companied by the revision of cultural values and very often leads to the social matrix chang¬ing of the perception of a human.
