Transformation of the cultural development of the Ukrainian people in the context of military realities: philosophical reflections on dilemmas

Abstract

For modern Ukraine, cultural transformations are extremely relevant, because in the conditions of confrontation with Russian aggression, it turned out that the use of films, books, music and other cultural aspects can become the tools of hybrid warfare. The purpose of this article is to understand certain aspects of the transformation of the culture of the Ukrainian people in the context of wartime realities. During the processing of this material, general scientific methods and specialized research methods were used. The results of the work highlighted the topical issues: the alleged institutional crisis of Ukrainian cultural institutions, the destruction of cultural monuments by Russian troops, the transformation of cultural values. Russian aggression only accelerated the development vector of Ukrainian culture in the 21st century, which replaced the old Soviet paradigms that functioned during the 1990s. From a gradual attachment to Russian-Soviet landmarks, modern Ukrainian culture has moved on to producing its own primarily Ukrainian-language cultural product. Note that this movement will only intensify in the future, and from 2022 all attempts to impose Russian paradigms of development in the cultural sector will be possible only under the conditions of Ukraine's capitulation, i.e., its defeat in the war.
