Post-Release: Tymofii Brik on the Evolution of Ukrainian Society through Data on Social Change and Cohesion4.3.2026 12:21:51 CET | Pressemeddelelse
On January 22, Unity of Ukraine Day, Ukraine House in Denmark hosted a public discussion examining how Ukrainian society has transformed over the past three decades and what makes it resilient today amid full-scale war. Drawing on extensive sociological research, the event explored questions of trust, identity, decentralization, civil society, and polarization, offering a data-driven perspective that goes beyond simplified narratives. The discussion was moderated by Nataliia Popovych, who opened the event by framing Ukraine’s current resilience as the outcome of long-term social change rather than a sudden wartime phenomenon. The keynote presentation was delivered by Tymofii Brik, sociologist and rector of the Kyiv School of Economics, who presented findings from multiple national and international studies conducted before and during the war.
