Abstract
The situation of the Ukrainian diaspora in the Russian Federation (hereinafter – the Russian Federation) in the conditions of the Kremlin's revenge policy towards Ukraine and Ukrainians is analyzed. The policy of the Russian Federation concerning the gradual and purposeful absorption of the non-Russian peoples of the Russian Federation and their final transformation into Russians ("Russians") is described. The place of the Ukrainian diaspora in modern Russia is comprehended, based on the data of population censuses (1989, 2002, 2010). It was found that the Russian Federation pursues a strict aggressive policy of assimilation towards the Ukrainian diaspora, imposes its neo-imperial ideology, closes diaspora associations, Ukrainian churches, applies repressive measures against local Ukrainians, in connection with which they are forced to hide their nationality. It was found that as a result of such an assimilation policy of the central government, the Ukrainian diaspora in Russia loses its identity and uniqueness, forgets its native Ukrainian language, history, traditions and customs, gradually assimilating and merging with the Russian people. It is noted that the Ukrainian state needs to introduce a new effective Program of interaction with foreign Ukrainians, as the Program (2018 – 2020) has lost its relevance. It is proposed to include in the new Program information about various events (congresses, conferences, round tables, seminars, festivals, film screenings), attending which the Ukrainian diaspora from Russia will get acquainted with the Ukrainian language, history, science, literature, customs and traditions, songs, movies ( movies, documentaries, cartoons). It is emphasized that now the Russian authorities, under the guise of a pandemic, do not allow the Ukrainian diaspora to enter Ukraine, so there is a need to involve them in online events (online conferences, webinars, etc.) held in Ukraine, as well as to create YouTube has various channels with Ukrainian content (Ukrainian songs, customs, traditions, legends, lessons in the Ukrainian language, history, etc.) to promote all things Ukrainian on the Internet.
