War, medicine and faith as factors of awareness of Ukrainian identity
Abstract
The article analyzes the ways of formation of Ukrainian identity, the structure of this concept. The dynamics of changes in the self-identification of the country's citizens due to the crisis processes taking place in society is given. Historical factors that contribute to the formation of self-perception among residents of different regions of the country are presented. The example of a separate village in Bukovina shows the long-term peaceful co-existence of representatives of different nationalities, religious denominations and languages. The example of Donbas illustrates the influence of residents of a particular region on the social life of the former Soviet Union, and later Ukraine. The processes taking place in the religious life of the country, where crises contribute to ecumenism, are analyzed. The historical example of the dissident movement of the sixties shows how Ukrainian identity becomes a conscious choice that must be defended. The National Medical University named after O.O. Bohomolets is an example to demonstrate how Ukrainian identity is formed in younger generation.
