Bracka M. The discourse of the Cossacks in poetry of the "Ukrainian school" of the Polish romanticism.

It is an integral part of the cultural paradigm of Ukrainian and Polish borderland and is considerated under influences and interrelations with literature, history and folklore of Ukrainians. At the same time sociocultural status of the borderland in the works of Polish romanticists make it possible to speak on its marginal state as it touches only partially with each cultural system on the one hand and its synthetical character, that is association of elements of each of them on the other hand. Ideological and aesthetic literary work centre of the Ukrainian poet's school is concentrated around the main figure of Cossack, which was significant and specially propagated in Polish literature in the first half of the XIX century as the consequence of extrapolation of European romantic tendencies of reference to the historical and folklore method. Poetical works of Polish romanticists of the "Ukrainian school" is considerate under comparative and typological aspect in the view of numerous personification of Cossack figure. It is proving, that commonplace of the Cossacks is accumulating the variety of commonplaces paradigm (liberty, love, defeat, revenge, death, etc.) is characterized by ambivalence portray.
