This project offers a multilayered approach to the historical contextualization of literary translation in post-Stalinist Soviet Ukraine and aims to determine the role of translators’ agency in resisting cultural colonialism. Valentyna Savchyn’s key premise is that in certain repressive contexts translation acquires special significance as a means of resisting the dominant culture, and that translators have to do more than just translate.
