THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR AS A CONFLICT OF IDENTITIES, VALUES AND IDEOLOGIES (ANALYTICAL REPORT)

On the Institute’s website (in the “Our Publications” section), is available the electronic version of the analytical report “The russian-ukrainian war as a conflict of identities, values and ideologies”.

The analytical report examines the main aspects of the ongoing Russian–Ukrainian war as a conflict of identities, values, and ideologies. By substantiating the differences between Ukrainian and Russian political cultures, as well as the value orientations and social practices of Ukrainian and Russian societies, the report identifies the key factors underlying Russian aggression against Ukraine. An analysis of ideological and identification processes in Russian and Ukrainian societies makes it possible to assess the prerequisites for Russian society’s propensity to wage war and the determination of Ukrainian citizens to offer resolute resistance in a military confrontation that is existential for Ukraine.
