Having become famous thanks to publications in Russian publishing houses in the 1990s and 2000s, after 2014 the Russophone Odessite poet Boris Grigor’evich Khersonskii faced allegations for his pro-Ukrainian patriotic position and criticism of Russian neo-imperialism. Both in his Russian-language poetry and in his prose blog entries, Khersonskii reacted by ironically appropriating the propagandistic formula of “Russophobia”. Over the post-Euromaidan years the poet increasingly added Ukrainianlanguage translations of his Russian poems and texts originally written in Ukrainian to his portfolio. This paper investigates the self-translations which can be found online in Khersonskii‘s Facebook blog dating from October 30, 2013 to February 19, 2019 and defends the thesis that self-translation and bilingual blogging, despite contrary declarations of the poet, serve the goal of mitigating the language conflict in post-Maidan Ukraine.
