Drawing on the concept of cultural trauma, this article compares Chernobyl narratives in Belarus and Ukraine over the past 28 years. It shows that national narratives of Chernobyl differ, representing the varying ways in which the state overcomes trauma. Our understanding of post\u2010communist transformations can be improved by analysing trauma management narratives and their importance for new national identity construction. These narratives also bring new insights to our vision of cultural trauma by linking it to ontological insecurity. The article demonstrates how the state can become an arena of trauma process as it commands material and symbolic resources to deal with trauma. In general, it contributes to a better understanding of how the same traumatic event can become a source of solidarity in one community, but a source of hostility in another.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-4446.12198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,18]],"date-time":"2016-05-18T13:29:48Z","timestamp":1463578188000},"page":"195-215","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Trauma management: Chernobyl in Belarus and Ukraine"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Ekatherina","family":"Zhukova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Political Science Aarhus University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13698570600677167"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1525\/california\/9780520235946.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","volume-title":"Performance and Power","author":"Alexander J.
