Abstract

The research aims at studying key narratives being transmitted in television documentaries in Ukraine and Poland in the context of displaying two peoples’ interaction in historical, cultural and social fields. The television product elucidated the image of Ukraine and the Ukrainian for a Polish viewer became the material for analysis. Relevance of the study: The documentary series of “The Ukrainians” was demonstrated in Poland from 07.04.2022 and had to present the stories of the Ukrainians migrated to Poland at different times, to make them “visible” and understandable for the Polish society. The series heroes say about their reasons for migration and how they see their future. The film shows how the war came into their life. Methodology: content-analysis as a systemic research method of objective description of available content of communication in media material; method of analysis, comparison, synthesis, narrative analysis. Results.The key narratives are: narrative of searching for better life, narrative of challenging and succeeding; narrative of a war and an enemy; narrative of common destiny of Ukrainians and Poles. Each of these narratives is built through a range of motives and images also elucidated in the research. Conclusions. On one hand, it is seen a positive tendency showing perspective of easing certain historical-and-cultural opposition between the countries, the deepening of mutual understanding between the peoples, destruction of a stereotype concerning the Ukrainian migrant’s image only as an employee in the area of non-qualified work. On the other hand, it is seen fixation of stereotypical perception of Ukraine as a country where social and economic problems are not solved, where there is no safety, that is why the heroes leave their land at different time, they are leaving it now due to the war, and of Ukrainians whose activity must mostly relate to the area of service. However, these tendencies we traced in the material under analysis, can be determined as dominant ones only through engagement of more volume of video content into analysis.
