Halyna Babak is a Ukrainian scholar whose research explores the intellectual history, literary theory, and literary production of 20th-century Ukraine within the broader context of Soviet and East European political and cultural history. Her first monograph The Atlantis of Soviet National Modernism [Natsmodernism]: The Formal Method in Ukraine (1920s-Early 1930s) (2021, co-authored with A. Dmitriev), offers the first comprehensive interpretation of the role of Ukrainian Formalism in nation-building during the 1920s as part of the broader project of Soviet modernization.
Yuliya Ilchuk is a Ukrainian scholar and translator whose research focuses on cultural exchange, interaction, and "borrowing" between Russia and Ukraine. Her award-winning book, Nikolai Gogol: Performing Hybrid Identity (2021), reinterprets the writer's identity and his literary works as ambivalent and hybrid. Her recent projects engage with memory studies in post-1991 Ukraine, shifting scholarly attention from collective remembrance to the cultural dimensions of forgetting. Also, she actively translates both modernist and contemporary Ukrainian poetry in tandem with Amelia Glaser.

He has authored and edited several books, including the comprehensive study Russian Literary Avant-Garde in Paris (with Leonid Livak), and has published widely on poetic experimentation. His current work centers on the rediscovery of texts and contexts of Ukrainian modernism.
