Original name:Російсько-українська війна як конфлікт ідентичностей, цінностей та ідеологій: аналітична доповідь. Київ: Інститут політичних і етнонаціональних досліджень ім. І. Ф. Кураса НАН України, 2025. 88 с.
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.
The analytical note was prepared based on the results of the research project “The Russian–Ukrainian War as a Conflict of Identities, Values, and Ideologies” (state registration number 0123U1000504).
