Most of the heroines have been united by Kyiv under difficult social conditions of the late 20th century. Realities force women to seek prosperity and personal wellbeing outside Ukraine, but they do not find happiness there. It is determined that the collection outlines the oppositions here/there, Ukraine/Europe. Kononenko’s female characters are frequently being depicted through
these oppositions.
