Identities dynamics and Foreign Policy Orientation in the Southern Ukraine and in Odessa City in the Context of Ukrainian Post-Revolutionary Shifts
Abstract
This article shows the features of the constituent
identification practices of southern
Ukraine and Odessa city, and states some
changes that have occurred over the past 7
years since the Revolution of dignity in 2013-
2014. The main characteristics of Odessa’s
Identity we have revealed consist of 2 trends.
First one is a high self-organization potential
of the population, the presence of a high level
of business activity, as well as the desire and
the ability to protect themselves, their loved
ones, their rights. At the same time, distrust
towards institutional structures is traditionally
observed, and as well as, there are close networks
of informal contacts that help to survive
and “address problems”. Secondly, the creation
of new informal associations of civic activists
who since 2014 have taken active part
both in social networks and in the real social
space of the city and become real germs of
civil society in the Odessa region.
