Ukrainian memoir literature always pays much attention to the main figures and critical events in the life of society. Cultural life during the Soviet regime and censorship did not promote the development of memoir prose.

Within the paradigm «memory – history» Ulas Samchuk gives his own studio of Ukrainian intelligent’s fate, specifics of national mentality, the adaptation problem of Ukrainian in the West world. It is proved, that writer’s memoir cycle is a unique document about life in Ukraine and in emigration in the first half of the twentieth century, the part of national intellectual history, which was created in different countries and continents.
