Considerable attention in the speech was paid to such important markers of identity as language and history. It was emphasized that the history of Ukraine should become a national priority in the educational and humanitarian sphere in the conditions of war. State authorities must keep in mind the experience of national unity during a full-scale war. The task of civil society and the state remains unity in freedom and diversity, the basis of which is the national identity and value of one’s own state.

The chief researcher of the Department of Political Institutes and Processes, Doctor of Political Sciences, Professor Maria Karmazina took an active part in the discussion.
