Krytyka (Ukrainian: Критика, lit. ''Critique'') is a Ukrainian intellectual monthly/bi-monthly magazine[2] (Ukrainian: часопис, romanized: chasopys) and publishing house dedicated to in-depth analysis of current affairs, culture and book reviews in Ukraine and the region. Krytyka was founded by the Harvard professor of Ukrainian literature, George Grabowicz, in 1997.[2] The magazine is a partner of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, University of St. Gallen (Center for Governance and Culture in Europe), and an exclusive partner of The New York Review of Books in Ukraine. Krytyka receives support from Western and Ukrainian foundations for its various projects, such as Robert Bosch Stiftung.[citation needed] Krytyka is a member of Eurozine, a network of European cultural magazines, and sees its role in mediating between Ukrainian and global intellectual elites. Since 2014, it is also available in English.
Krytyka follows the model of The New York Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement, and the Polish journal Kultura. The magazine offers detailed and research-based analysis of historical, political, and cultural developments in Ukraine, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Krytyka's main audience consists of liberal intellectuals, faculty members, and graduate students.
Krytyka is an avant-garde journal for discussions on issues otherwise less discussed in the Ukrainian context: historical memory, xenophobia, gender and sexual discrimination, revisions of literary canon, problems of Ukrainian scholarship and education, among others. Contributors to Krytyka include Ukrainian writers (Yuri Andrukhovych, Serhiy Zhadan, Taras Prokhasko), academics and intellectuals (Natalya Yakovenko, Mykola Riabchuk, Yaroslav Hrytsak, and Yevhen Minko) as well as numerous international authors like Timothy D. Snyder, Umberto Eco, and Richard Pipes, among others. Krytyka received wide recognition in Ukraine and internationally for the high quality of its publications.
Editorial Board of Krytyka consists of prominent public intellectuals and scholars Yuri Andrukhovych, Bogumiła Berdychowska, Yaroslav Hrytsak, Volodymyr Kulyk, Mikhail Minakov, Alexander J. Motyl, Serhii Plokhii, Yurko Prokhasko, Mykola Riabchuk, Oleksandr Savchenko, Yuriy Shapoval, Oleksiy Tolochko.
