Suchasnist (Ukrainian: Сучасність, lit. 'modernity'; also written as Sučasnist) was a Ukrainian monthly literary and artistic journal published from 1961 to 2013. Founded by members of the Ukrainian diaspora in Munich, West Germany, Suchasnist was frequently smuggled into the Soviet Union and it was generally regarded as one of the preeminent magazines of Ukraine's emerging nationally-conscious population. Following the 1989–1991 Ukrainian revolution and the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine Suchasnist moved its operations to the city of Kyiv. There, it continued to exert significant cultural influence despite financial difficulties until it eventually permanently closed in 2013.
