Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article adds qualitative insights into research investigating the interrelation of changes in socio-political attitudes and identity of civilian population under circumstances of war by comparing youth attitudes in two cities in the Donbas region of Ukraine. The theoretical lens lies with Bourdieu’s thinking tools, Brubaker’s triadic nexus, and Fox’s/ Miller-Idriss’s concept of ‘everyday nationhood’. The focus groups indicate that a stronger experience of conflict-related clashes has an impact on how negatively the researched youth groups perceive Russia politically, and the local separatist movement, and on how positively they relate to nationalising trends by the Ukrainian government.
