Abstract
У дослідженні на прикладі Донбаського регіону проаналізовано феномен регіональної ідентичності, яка моделюється на прорадянській "класовій" ідеології; йдеться про експансію її носіїв, щодо підпорядкування гуманітарного простору України. Політичні та медійні міфи, що є технологічними
маніпуляціями, зумовлюють тривалий процес сепарації Донбасу. Нині, зокрема внаслідок російської
агресії, щодо майбутнього регіону є повна невизначеність, проте його адаптація у межах України
можлива лише за умов деіндустріалізації та деконструкції технологічної/антиукраїнської міфології.
The research analyzes the phenomenon of regional identity, taking Donbas region as an example, which is modelled on pro-Soviet "class" ideology; we talk about expansion of those who embrace this ideology related to submission of the Ukrainian space of Humanities. Political and media myths as technology manipulations stipulate a long-term process of Donbas separation. The article shows the history of Donbas separatism which is conditioned by specifics of the regional identity, which, in its turn, has hindered the development of a civil society and come out with a bright character of opposition towards Ukrainian national identity with its language, culture, national memory. In the condition of economical slowdown, the local elite who have technically kept the region in isolation and speculated on hard workers’ discontent, converted it into separatist mottos which were used to apply pressure to Kyiv to get economical and political dividends. However, in 2014, demoralized members of the Party of Regions fled out, abandoning the "small motherland" for aggressor they used to flirt with. Phantom Soviet identity prevented integration into common culture space, and worked for actual invasion into Ukrainian territories – places where people identified themselves not even with Russia but with the fallen form of the USSR. Up to date, especially due to Russian aggression, the future of the region is possible only on the condition of deindustrialization and deconstruction of the technology/anti-Ukrainian mythology.
