Unknown Orator (Невідомий оратор) is the first and only specialised journal on oratorical art and rhetoric in Ukraine.[1] Founded in 2025 by philosopher of rhetoric Mykola Ovcharov, who serves as its founder, author and editor-in-chief. The journal is published twice a year in Ukrainian and English.

History

Prior to the founding of Unknown Orator, no specialised publication on oratorical art had ever existed in Ukraine.[1][2] While in the United States and most European Union countries rhetoric as an academic discipline has its own peer-reviewed journals with decades of tradition, Ukrainian readers — both professional and general — had no access to quality Ukrainian-language literature in this field.

The journal was founded within the framework of the Ovcharov Institute of Rhetoric (Kyiv). All materials from both issues are available in open access at journal.ovcharov.institute. The journal is also published in print format.
