With numerous imperialist narratives still haunting different parts of the world, it really becomes difficult to answer these questions. However, recent developments have reflected once again the continuing nature of colonialism via a shape-shifting practice. The current war between Russia and Ukraine has become an important experience in understanding this trauma. The aim of this study is to understand how the conflict, now a war, has started solidifying the Ukrainian identity via fetching its Other, namely Russia. The study inquiries into a post-colonial reading to understand recent Ukrainian national re-construction via history, territory, and culture. This begs an inquiry into the post-Soviet geography to better understand the repositioning of Ukraine as a nation unfettered by the Russian Federation. This paper attempts to understand whether the recent war has launched a postcolonial resistance of Ukraine to assert itself via raising consciousness and to transform itself from a pseudo-nation-state to an authentic one.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Post-kolonyal çalışmalar incelendiğinde genellikle postkolonyalizm’in nerede ve ne zaman başladığı sorusuyla yola çıkıldığıgörülmektedir. Dünyanın farklı yerlerinde hâlâ tanık olunan çok sayıdaemperyalist anlatı varken, yukarıda bahsedilen soruyu yanıtlamakgerçekten zorlaşmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, son gelişmeler, bir biçimdeğiştirme pratiği aracılığıyla sömürgeciliğin devam eden doğasını birkez daha yansıtmaktadır. Rusya ve Ukrayna arasındaki savaş, bu travmayıanlamada önemli bir deneyim haline gelmektedir. Ukrayna ve Rusyaarasındaki savaşın bir boyutu ile kimlik çatışması olduğu görülmektedir.Savaşın seyri ile Ukrayna ulusal kimliğinin, Rus kimliğine karşı bir Ötekiolarak nasıl konumlanacağı önemli bir sorun olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır.Bu çalışma, tarih, toprak ve kültür kavramları ile Ukrayna’nın sonzamanlardaki ulusu yeniden inşasını anlamak için post-kolonyal birokuma üzerinden ele almaktadır. Bu durum Ukrayna’nın RusyaFederasyonu tarafından tahakküm edilen bir ulus olarak yenidenkonumlandırılmasını daha iyi anlamak üzere Sovyet sonrası coğrafyayayönelik bir sorgulamadır. Bu makale, son savaşın, Ukrayna’nın ulusalbilincini artırarak kendini savunmak ve kendisini sahte bir ulus-devlettenotantik bir devlete dönüştürmek için sömürge sonrası bir direniş başlatıpbaşlatmadığını anlamaya çalışmaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
