On September 26, 2024, the All-Ukrainian Scientific and Practical Forum was held in Kyiv: „Greeks of Ukraine: Preserving Identity in the Context of Russian Aggression. Socio-political, historical, cultural and linguistic aspects”. The event was initiated by the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnic Affairs and Freedom of Conscience in cooperation with the Federation of Greek Societies of Ukraine and Mariupol State University.
The forum was attended by representatives of Greek communities, government institutions, international organizations and academia, united by a common desire to preserve the centuries-old history and culture of the Greeks in Ukraine. Particular attention was paid to the problems faced by Greeks living in the temporarily occupied territories, given that 85% of Ukrainian Greeks lived in the Ukrainian Northern Pryazov’ye before the war.
The forum was attended by scholars of the Department of Ethnopolitical Science of our Institute: Anastasiia Dehterenko, Leading Research Scientist of the Ethnopolitics Department, PhD (Political Science), Associate Professor and Oleksiy Lyashenko, Researcher, Candidate of Historical Sciences.
In the scientific discussion „The Greeks of Ukraine in the sociopolitical life of Ukraine in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, their contribution to countering Russian aggression”, Anastasiia Dehterenko, made a presentation on „Ethnopolitical management in the system of resilience of territorial communities of the Ukrainian Northern Pryazov’ye”. Speaking during the scientific discussion, Anastasiia Dehterenko noted that the main goal of the resilience of territorial communities is to preserve the viability of the community, its social, economic, and institutional structure in the face of war. At the same time, resilience is something that needs to be systematically measured and tracked using resilience indices, and to measure ethnopolitical resilience, it is necessary to use a monitoring system of such a resilience tool as ethnopolitical management.
