Abstract

The Russian military aggression has brought significant changes to Ukrainian social life. The article aims to analyze the formation of Ukrainian national identity in the conditions of Russian aggression based on philosophical and psychological analysis. The implementation of the proposed goal was based on the use of the PRISMA scientific approach. The processing of the collected information was carried out using content analysis and comparison synthesis. The results show that the Russian aggression against Ukraine significantly influenced the activation of the cultural, ethnic, and political self-awareness of Ukrainians. It was established that until 2014, the institutional development of Ukrainian national projects occupied a secondary place in the policy of the state authorities of Ukraine. Among the features of the impact of the war on the processes of self-identification, one can identify the awareness of the value and importance of preserving Ukrainian culture and cultural memory, the growth of support for the Ukrainian language, and the gradual change in historical memory. The conclusions note that the formation of national identity in war conditions was significantly activated due to the growth of self-awareness in Ukrainian society.
