AXIOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF PATRIOTISM IN CONDITIONS OF WAR

Abstract

The topicality of the study is due to changes in the axiological priorities of Ukrainians. Military actions on the territory of Ukraine led to a sharp transformation of the worldview positions of Ukrainian citizens. New value determinants are especially evident in children and young people. The real threat of denationalization, loss of state independence and falling into the sphere of influence of another state caused a rethinking of national self-awareness, statesmanship position, military duty, civic activity, etc. The lack of patriotism and national unity in Ukrainian society became a prerequisite for the seizure of part of Ukrainian territories, and later for the genocide of the Ukrainian people in a hybrid war. Patriotic values, which during the last decades were considered secondary in the axiological hierarchy of younger generations, have become more active today and have become a defining characteristic of a Ukrainian.
