Oksana Zabuzhko's most famous book in the non-fiction genre is Notre Dame d'Ukraine: A Ukrainian Woman in the Conflict of Mythologies (2007).

Her most recent novel, The Museum of Abandoned Secrets (2009), deals with three different epochs (World War II, 1970s, and early 2000s), and, in particular, the topic of Ukrainian Insurgent Army, active in Ukraine in the 1940s and 1950s, and either demonized or silenced by the Soviet historiography.
