The situation of the Ukrainian diaspora in the Russian Federation (hereinafter – the Russian Federation) in the conditions of the Kremlin's revenge policy towards Ukraine and Ukrainians is analyzed. The policy of the Russian Federation concerning the gradual and purposeful absorption of the non-Russian peoples of the Russian Federation and their final transformation into Russians ("Russians") is described. The place of the Ukrainian diaspora in modern Russia is comprehended, based on the data of population censuses (1989, 2002, 2010). It was found that the Russian Federation pursues a strict aggressive policy of assimilation towards the Ukrainian diaspora, imposes its neo-imperial ideology, closes diaspora associations, Ukrainian churches, applies repressive measures against local Ukrainians, in connection with which they are forced to hide their nationality. It was found that as a result of such an assimilation policy of the central government, the Ukrainian diaspora in Russia loses its identity and uniqueness, forgets its native Ukrainian language, history, traditions and customs, gradually assimilating and merging with the Russian people. It is noted that the Ukrainian state needs to introduce a new effective Program of interaction with foreign Ukrainians, as the Program (2018 – 2020) has lost its relevance. It is proposed to include in the new Program information about various events (congresses, conferences, round tables, seminars, festivals, film screenings), attending which the Ukrainian diaspora from Russia will get acquainted with the Ukrainian language, history, science, literature, customs and traditions, songs, movies ( movies, documentaries, cartoons). It is emphasized that now the Russian authorities, under the guise of a pandemic, do not allow the Ukrainian diaspora to enter Ukraine, so there is a need to involve them in online events (online conferences, webinars, etc.) held in Ukraine, as well as to create YouTube has various channels with Ukrainian content (Ukrainian songs, customs, traditions, legends, lessons in the Ukrainian language, history, etc.) to promote all things Ukrainian on the Internet.

In Ukraine, under the conditions of military aggression by the Russian Federation, the role of women in the heroic struggle of the Ukrainian people against the aggressor is increasingly growing. In this aspect, gender history is important - a field that examines the history of women in different periods. The most relevant today is the study of the history of the Ukrainian liberation movement, in particular the participation of Ukrainian women in it, which makes it possible to reveal the gender component of the national liberation struggles of the Ukrainian people from a new, sometimes unexpected side. As scientists note, women made a significant contribution to the development and activity of the Ouniv underground, their practical activity in the Ukrainian national liberation movement was extremely multifaceted. The study is focused on highlighting the role of Ukrainian women in the Ukrainian liberation movement in the 1940s and 1950s. on the example of the life and creative path of one of the most mysterious figures of the Ukrainian liberation movement, Lyudmila Foya (1923–1950), a liaison underground of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (Bandera) in Kyiv during the Second World War, a prisoner of the internal prison of the NKGB of the Ukrainian SSR, a participant armed struggle of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in Volyn and Polissia. Reading the works of L. Foya will allow us to return the name of this unique writer to Ukrainian literature. Her works are aimed at the formation of patriotic values of a young person, who is in constant dynamic development of the value-emotional sphere, acts as a driving force, on whose views the development of Ukrainian statehood depends.

The article analyzes the influence of the Kremlin's revanchist policy on religious conflicts in modern Ukraine. It is revealed that the Russian state has existed for three centuries in the format of an empire (feudalcapitalist, totalitarian-Soviet, and autocratic), during which time Ukraine and Ukrainians were an important component of these imperial state formations. It was found that almost a quarter of a century of inactivity of the domestic authorities and active anti-Ukrainian and anti-state actions of the Russian Orthodox Church and its Little Russia branch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate contributed to their introduction into the Ukrainian humanitarian space. later led to the so-called "Russian spring" in 2014. It is proved that the armed and information aggression of the Russian Federation in early 2014, intensified by the anti-Ukrainian activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, called into question the very existence of Ukrainian statehood and the Ukrainian nation, but thanks to the all-Ukrainian The enemy was stopped by the Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate. It is shown that the combination of efforts of the Ukrainian authorities, civil society and believers is extremely important for the development of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. It was revealed that for the final victory over the Russian aggressor, in addition to military, geopolitical, diplomatic, political, economic, ethnocultural factors, it will be necessary to use the sacred-spiritual factor - the unification of Ukrainian Orthodoxy into the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and its national-patriotic state activity to overcome the Kremlin's revanchist policy towards the Ukrainian nation and eliminate religious conflicts in modern Ukraine.

Legislative initiatives aimed at strengthening the Ukrainian society's national value and semantic identities play an important role in this process. The formation of national-patriotic values of student youth should become a priority of state policy, as young people are the most active part of the Ukrainian population. Young people, being in the constant dynamic development of the value-emotional sphere, act as a driving force, impacting by their views the development of the Ukrainian statehood. The Strategy of National-Patriotic Education, approved by the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated May 18, 2019, No 286/2019, is based on the idea of strengthening Ukrainian statehood as a consolidating factor in the development of the society, formation of patriotism, and establishment of national values. However, the article draws attention to the insufficient reflection of humanitarian issues, in particular the role of national values in the formation of national interests and goals in the strategic security documents of Ukraine. Among the problems to be addressed, the Concept of the State Targeted Social Program of National-Patriotic Education for the period till 2025 indicates the unsystematic nature of forming an active civic position for the establishment of the citizens' national identity based on the spiritual values of the Ukrainian people, national identity, as well as low development of patriotic, military-patriotic, and spiritual-moral education. Thus, the strengthening of national value and semantic dominants in developing and implementing a holistic national policy of national and patriotic education of students will contribute to the unity and consolidation of the Ukrainian society under today's challenges and threats.

The article analyzes the impact of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine on modern ethnocultural processes based on the materials of sociological surveys. It has been proven that the main goal of Russia's invasion is the complete destruction of the Ukrainian people, and this opinion dominates in all regions of Ukraine, while another half believe that the goal of the attack is the occupation of Ukraine and joining Russia. It has been found that the level of linguistic self-identification of Ukrainians, according to the results of sociological surveys, is steadily increasing, and the war, as a challenge for the whole society, only accelerates this process, therefore, the Ukrainian language, as one of the cornerstones of statehood, is only getting stronger today, and the lines of opposition in this matter are disappearing. It was revealed that as of August 2021, the number of respondents who self-identify as citizens of Ukraine (from 75 to 98%) and as "Europeans" - from 27 to 57% - has increased significantly. On the other hand, fewer and fewer respondents refer to themselves as a "Soviet person", their number decreased from 21 to 7%. It was revealed that the absolute majority (91%) do not support the thesis that "Russians and Ukrainians are one people".

It is shown that the war unleashed by the Russian Federation was directed against the Ukrainian people and that the Ukrainian national idea, whose main goal is to ensure the consolidation, cohesion and national unity of the Ukrainian nation, should play a decisive role in resisting attempts to divide the country along ideological and national lines. As with any genocide, the Russian Federation is primarily trying to erase the Ukrainian identity, so a lot of effort should be directed to its preservation. All forms of culture and art should have a major function, primarily its newest forms, which reflect the reaction of Ukrainian artists to the escalation of the war. For society, it is culture that gives a sense of the soul of the people, belonging to one's country and unity. Therefore, the special interest of researchers, not only culturalists and art historians, but also researchers of social sciences in the topics of the transformation of Ukrainian society in the conditions of war, can trace certain trends, images, forms that change and reflect specific periods of living in collective traumatized by war, as well as the multiplicity of experiences in dense reality wartime in Ukraine and beyond. It is indicated that the destruction of Ukrainian culture during a large-scale war is not an accident. The desire to protect one's state has become a unifying factor of Ukrainian society, which, speaking about the unique qualities of Ukrainian identity through cultural practices, unites the whole world around Ukraine, leaving no chance for the aggressor to escape responsibility. The importance of Ukrainian cultural and artistic practices as a significant factor in the consolidation of Ukrainianness in the conditions of Russian aggression for the establishment of Ukrainian identity is proven.

It is shown that the war unleashed by the Russian Federation is directed against the Ukrainian people and, as with any genocide, the Russian Federation is primarily trying to erase Ukrainian identity. Unfortunately, children also suffer from this aggression. Currently, it is impossible to even imagine the long-term consequences of this demographic catastrophe for Ukraine, which has already experienced four waves of forced migration, but we have not yet known such a number of refugees among the female and child population. In view of that, many efforts should be directed to preserve Ukrainian identity abroad and to preserve life and future for our children. Women took a big role in this, mostly on a volunteer basis. The volunteer movement, primarily its forms and methods in Ukraine, should be of particular interest to researchers. Volunteer experience is an important factor in the development of non-formal education in Europe and Ukraine, as noted by Maya Dernova, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Visiting Professor of the Department of Adult Education and Lifelong Education at Augsburg University (Germany). It is emphasized that today the whole world understands how important the language of cultural diplomacy is becoming in order to oppose the pro-Russian narrative. In this information war, it is culture that becomes a soft but effective weapon. Telling about the unique qualities of Ukrainian culture and history, it unites the whole world around Ukraine, leaving no chance for the aggressor to escape responsibility. The importance of ensuring the functioning of Ukrainian schools abroad as a factor of Ukrainian cultural creation, preservation of Ukrainian identity and connection with Ukraine has been proven. The main thing is that after the victory, it is easy for the children to return and adapt to the Ukrainian education system, for the sake of their own future.

The functioning of the Ukrainian language in the conditions of full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine is analyzed. It was revealed that after February 24, 2022, the language issue became relevant in Ukrainian society, as Russian aggression contributed to the process of Ukrainization and the return of lost positions to the Ukrainian language in all spheres of society. It was found that, according to sociological surveys, there is a constant decrease in Russian-speaking Ukrainians and an increase in Ukrainian-speaking citizens. It was established that only the Ukrainian language should be used in public space, and the transition to the Ukrainian language should take place gradually, but purposefully. It has been observed that the first level of stabilization of language stability was made by language legislation, namely the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as a State", which entered into force on July 16, 2019, and during 2019-2022 was gradually introduced into all spheres of Ukrainian society . It is justified that its implementation helped the Ukrainian language to regain its rightful place in the Ukrainian state, it should be noted separately that on July 16, 2022, separate norms of the language law entered into force, which established the status of the Ukrainian language in the information and business spheres. It was revealed that the second level of language stabilization is the Ukrainian government, which, using legislative, executive and judicial bodies, will implement and improve language legislation. It has been proven that the third level of language stabilization is the citizens of Ukraine, both ethnic Ukrainians and representatives of other nationalities, who can and should influence language stability. It is well-founded that returning the Ukrainian language to its proper status in the Ukrainian state in all areas of its life will help unite the Ukrainian political nation and motivate to defeat the Russian aggressors.

The article reveals the conceptual foundations for the formation of Ukrainian youth national identity during the Russian-Ukrainian war. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, the theoretical aspects of national identity formation are highlighted. Attention is paid to the fact that an interdisciplinary approach allows identifying the problems of national identity formation, related to both the need to outline the value and meaning content, as well as the risks of informational, political and military confrontation. The article emphasizes that the question of the formation of Ukrainian youth national identity during social changes, military operations and value crisis acquires meaningful content, because the actualization of the historical and cultural heritage and national processes is imposed on the axiologically heterogeneous and fragmented modern socio-cultural space. The difficulty of forming the national identity is that it consists of social, economic, political and cultural signs of Ukrainian unity, represent the national space, without denying the right to reproduce other identities. Special attention needs to be paid to the creation of common socio-cultural space as a horizontal solidarity of society, based on the dominant values of national identity. It was found that an important basis for the further reproduction of Ukrainianness in Ukraine and abroad is spiritual heritage and national traditional dimensions, which form the basis of the national existence of Ukraine and allow to feel a constant connection with the Motherland.

The investigation is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of volunteering in modern Ukraine. Today all kinds, types and forms of volunteering, which are involved in the public space of both the warring country and the world complimentary to it, deserve close attention, support and study. This is, in particular, because it is the large-scale volunteer movement that is important along with the activities of the Armed Forces a component of the approaching Ukrainian Victory in the fight against Putin's totalitarian regime. The authors of the article pay special attention to the female component of volunteer activity, since the women of Ukraine have become the main volunteer force in helping the Armed Forces and victims of Russia's aggression against the Ukrainian nation and state. The volunteer movement has become the main formative factor of the developed civil society on the territory of modern Ukraine. Despite of the great interest in the study of volunteering in Ukraine and abroad, existing in the domestic socio-humanitarian discourse, a certain corpus of texts has already been created. It is worth admitting that scientists do not have time to analyze all the variety of manifestations of volunteer activity, its specific characteristics in various aspects, in particular, and what concerns gender component of the problem. The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the specifics of the phenomenon of female volunteerism during Ukraine's war with the Russian aggressor as an effective component of this struggle and the approach of Ukrainian Victory. The research is conducted with an emphasis on the socio-philosophical and philosophical-worldview basis. Such a phenomenon as "intellectual volunteering" deserves special attention of scientists, the analysis of which is planned to be devoted special attention in a future study.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of the functioning of Buddhist and neo- Buddhist movements in the conditions of the war in Ukraine. It is noted that the modernization of Ukrainian culture, which is accompanied by the development of post-secular trends, manifests itself not only in the revival and transformation of religious beliefs traditional for our people, but also in the spread of non-traditional and neo-religious teachings and movements, among which Buddhism and Neo-Buddhism occupy a special place. The revival of Buddhism in Ukraine in the 90s of the last century took place mainly with the mediation of Russia. In the situation that developed at that time, Buddhism acted as a kind of "agent" of Russian cultural expansion. In the conditions of the war against rashism, it largely became independent from Russian influence. Among the most striking manifestations of Buddhism in Ukraine is the sangha of the Mahayanist direction of the Nipponzan Myōhōji Order, whose representatives have suffered from racist aggression since 2014 and until today. As a result of the occupation by Russian terrorists of parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, neo-religious groups, including Buddhists, were displaced from these territories. Seeking refuge, Ukrainian Buddhists were directly faced with the need to form a clear position in relation to Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, not hiding behind the general Buddhist notion of the absurdity of any war as a way to resolve conflicts. During the analysis, it was also established that under the influence of transformational processes in Western European Buddhism, domestic Buddhism is being modernized. In Ukraine, neo-Buddhist practices are identified with such directions and schools as Karma Kagyu, Zen Buddhism, Nittiren, White Lotus, as well as with Protestant and cyber Buddhism. Within the boundaries of neo-Buddhist teachings, the problem of Russia's aggressive war of aggression against Ukraine is discussed sporadically, but it is already possible to distinguish certain trends in the understanding and interpretation of its essence and the preference for a negative assessment of the moral component of rashist aggression, which certainly indicates positive shifts in the ideas of domestic followers of the doctrine and hope on the useful application of Buddhist methods and practices to improve the spiritual and psychological state of the Ukrainian community, as well as on the further development of antitotalitarian tendencies and tolerance towards non-traditional religious phenomena in its environment.
