THE EVOLUTION OF IDEOLOGICAL AND THEMATIC COMPLEXES IN FEMALE COMBATANT PROSE (BASED ON THE WORKS OF L. FOI AND L. ILKIV)

Abstract

The article demonstrates the changes that have taken place in the depiction of war and humanity in women’s combat prose based on the works of Lyudmila Foa and Lydia Ilkiv. It analyzes how the authors reveal the phenomenon of humanity in extreme situations. It shows the common and distinctive features of the artistic vision of the two authors: in Foa’s work, the motif of physical sacrifice and national-insurgent ethics dominates, while in Ilkiv’s work, the spiritual and psychological experiences of war in a modern context dominate.
