Through its narratives and myths, Russia still influences the public’s mind. For centuries, they have tried to destroy Ukrainians as a nation, now they are destroying the state. Identity has many dimensions: ethnic, civic, regional, professional, religious, political and many others. The destruction of our ethnic, national identity has always been the goal of the Russian Empire-USSR-RF.
Now it is very important for us to preserve our civic identity – a sense of belonging to the state, trust in each other, respect and pride, readiness to protect and defend ourselves. This is the main target of Russian propaganda and manipulations.
The nation needs the past, but now it is fighting for the future of Ukraine.
Do not trust Russian propaganda! Preserve your civic identity!
