Abstract

The article is dedicated to the problem of losing touch with the native land and the paternal home (“bezgruntiv''ja”), typical for the Ukrainians because of the need to migrate in the XX century and early XXI century. It deals with the phenomenon of “bezgruntiv''ja” which has got aesthetic realization in the dramatic works of Ukrainian emigrant writers of the middle of the XX century (Yu. Kosach, I. Cholhan, L. Kovalenko, A. Yurynjak, I. Bahrjany). It concludes that the Ukrainian variant of phenomenon of losing touch with the native land and the paternal home has such feature as absurdity of human existence and associated with person’s perception of his place in the world and the Universe as a whole.
