Marta Gosovska

Marta Gosovska holds a Master’s degree in theory of literature and comparative studies. Her academic focus revolves around the theory of translation and modern Ukrainian literature. Conversely, her translation portfolio encompasses Ukrainian literature into English, with a particular emphasis on poetry, plays, and fiction. A co-translation of hers, A Ukrainian Christmas by Nadiyka Gerbish and Yaroslav Hrytsak, was published by Sphere last year. Beyond translation, she contributes to academia as a literature and creative writing instructor at UCU University in Lviv, all while nurturing my own writing endeavours.

Culture as Security

• Issue 5 (October 2025)

This issue of the London Ukrainian Review takes a look at culture as a matter of national security. Highlighting the voices of cultural figures who defend Ukraine with arms, it also examines culture as a tool of Russia’s imperialist expansion, all the while insisting on a bond between cultural familiarity and political solidarity.
