Murat Gür, with his work titled “Imagining Another History Ukranya in Turkish Literature”, introduced 'Ukraine', a literary genre that has not been named and whose place and effects have not been determined in Turkish literature and Turkish literary criticism, to Turkish literature and examined the appearances of ukronva in Turkish literature. In this study, certain criteria specific to Ukraine and its framework are presented in order to be able to benefit while examining such narratives. In the work, suggestions are presented regarding the naming of ukronya as a literary genre in Turkish literature. During these suggestions, the reason for the nomenclature in the West was examined and the most appropriate nomenclature was discussed. Afterwards, the appearances of ukranvana were examined starting from Türk Bengü Taşları, which are the oldest known texts of Turkish literature. In this study, Murat Gür's work, which includes the introduction of the said genre to Turkish academia and literature, is evaluated. In this direction, the main titles of the work were handled and analyzed separately and information about the study was given. Thus, in this study, it has been tried to reveal which deficiencies the work fills in the literature and how it does this.
