Oral History and the Media in the Formation of Ukraine’s National Memory during the Russo-Ukrainian War

Summary/Abstract: In the fight against the Russian aggressor, the Ukrainian political nation was finally formed, and historical memory is one of the important elements of the national resilience of the Ukrainian people. The Russo-Ukrainian war in all its manifestations will form the backbone of the national memory of Ukrainians in the future, so the process of recording the stories of both the military and civilians is of great importance. The recorded stories show the personal experiences, pain, and suffering of citizens, which will form an objective image of the tragic events as part of the collective memory. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia23 served as an impetus for Ukrainian identity and a return to national memory. Traditional and new media have columns or other permanent sections where stories of the heroes of the Russo-Ukrainian war are told. In the context of interpreting the history of Ukraine, mediatisation technologies enable the creation of a completely new Ukrainian media space with a large audience and influence the formation of historical memory
