This project aims to investigate the Holodomor of 1932–1933 as portrayed in the writings of the Ukrainian emigrant writer Mykhailo Sytnyk in the context of the national artistic and biographical discourse. 

Holodomor of 1932–1933 in the works of well-known Ukrainian émigré writers Vasyl Barka, Ulas Samchuk, Todos Osmachka, Yuri Klen, Yar Slavutych, Oleksa Veretenchenko, Ihor Kachurovsky, Vasyl Chaplenko, and others has been widely explored in Ukraine and the diaspora. The Holodomor is also vividly represented in the works of a Mykhailo Sytnyk (1920–1959), Ukrainian writer, journalist, and editor whose life and artistic journey began in Ukraine and ended in the USA, whose body of work is less known and explored.
