Abstract

The article is devoted to clarifying the place of internally displaced persons (IDPs) as a security challenge for the territorial communities of their permanent residence in the context of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The author analyses the scale and territorial specificity of this new phenomenon in the context of the state migration policy on regulation of internal migration processes and their interconnection with external ones; the content of the legal status and peculiarities of IDPs' socialisation. The author expresses his views on the effectiveness of the activities of the authorities and local self-government bodies, public organisations and their interaction in addressing the urgent basic needs of IDPs in various areas, ensuring their access to quality administrative and social services. The importance of adaptation of IDPs in the new ethnic environment (on the example of Ivano-Frankivsk region), establishment of national values and norms, political beliefs that are dominant among the local population, which should help prevent conflicts at the linguistic and mental levels, is substantiated. It is emphasised that the security challenges related to IDPs obviously do not require separate change, since we are talking about citizens of Ukraine who have been forced to leave their places of permanent residence, but enjoy the full range of constitutional rights and freedoms. At the same time, their implementation is part of the policy of providing security services by territorial communities aimed at increasing security and comfort in communities, creating conditions for the full involvement of IDPs in economic, social, cultural, spiritual and political life in their new places of residence.
