Abstract

The relevance is caused by the full-scale military aggression by the Russian Federation and the danger that poses a threat to the development and preservation of the Ukrainians’ identity. The paper aim is a theoretical review of the safety aspects of the identity development of Ukrainian citizens in the context of the war and the determination of the consequences of its influence on the identity components. Methodology. Theoretical analysis of the problem of formation of national identity, highlight safety aspects of its development in the conditions of war, based on the analysis determination of the consequences of influence of war on the identity of citizens of Ukraine. Results. Safety for identity is defined as socio-psychological conditions that contribute to the strengthening, preservation and development of identity, while danger is defined as threats that can potentially harm identity or destroy the conditions for its support and preservation. Threats to identity include intrastructural ones that characterize a state of conflict between different types of identities, when under the influence of certain circumstances internal contradictions intensify, and external social events that strengthen intrastructural contradictions and can potentially harm identity or destroy the conditions for its support and preservation. War represents the greatest level of danger among all social events and has an ambiguous impact on personal and social components of identity. Among the options for the impact of war on identity, we can distinguish: totally traumatic, which has comprehensive consequences on identity, partially traumatic, which affects either personal or social components, and adaptive, when a person is able to cope with the consequences of such an impact. Prospects for further research consist in the empirical studying the consequences of the military conflict on the Ukrainians’ identity, the identification of socio-psychological peculiarities of the identity development in the martial law conditions.
