Keywords: Mazeppa, Victor Hugo, Lord Byron, romanticism, Europe, identity, multiculturalism, East – West relations

Abstract

The present study addresses the problem of European identity as it is nowadays revealed through the promotion of the multiculturalism. In-deed, the romantic visions of the Old Continent as Victor Hugo and George Gordon – Lord Byron uttered (cf. the epic poem of Mazeppa) opposes the “modern” vision of the problem. Eastern Europeans appear to be more sensitive to the topic of identity than their western counterparts. That presents a great political opportunity for the Ukraine.
