DANYLIW RESEARCH SEMINAR ON CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE

Based on ethnographic interviews and observations, this paper analyzes identity change in Kryvyi Rih.” For workers, identarian cleavage remained superficial, rather than a radical mistrust of all “politics”. With the new Russian Invasion, they changed their disposition because the war moved from the domain of the political into that of the personal, and thus became worthy of personal implication.

Denys Gorbach is a teaching fellow at Sciences Po Paris (France).
