Combatant prose as an important component of the contemporary Ukrainian literary process

Under the influence of the Russian-Ukrainian war, many texts on military themes have appeared in contemporary Ukrainian literature. An important part of these works is combatant prose, books written exclusively by battle participants. This article focuses on the structural features of this prose (genre diffusion and genre variations). Some stylistic characteristics are outlined (for example, the active use of comic forms). These texts are important ego-documents of the time. Modern combatant prose is rooted in the entire tradition of military literature and at the same time expands it with new problems and methods of text creation. In particular, this is a change of “colonized thinking” to “national thinking”, therefore decolonial discourse may be suggested.
