This text analyzes the discussions that have arisen in the context of the Russia- Ukraine war. The subject of the analysis is the debate taking place in the Ukrainian intellectual sphere and its polemic with certain tendencies in the West towards understanding the war. The discovery of the tragic consequences of the war gave rise to the terms “theology after Bucha” and “philosophy after Bucha” in the Ukrainian philosophical and theological environment. The authors connect this discussion with the older discourses on “philosophy/theology after Auschwitz” and “philosophy after the Gulag.” They also examine the related issue of the examination of the doctrine of the “Russian world,” especially from a postcolonial perspective, and present some of the new ideas that have been formulated in the course of the aforementioned debates. The text combines the genres of a scholarly article and a philosophical essay, which is justified by the need to concurrently show the source base of the research and give expression to the existential tension of the topic.
