Abstract
The purpose of this article is to clarify the role of Russophobia in the structure of Ukrainian political identity. The genesis and transformations of Russophobic normative-value attitudes within the geographical boundaries of modern Ukraine are considered. The main ways of manifestation of Russophobia in socio-political practices are analyzed. The pivotal role of Russophobia has been revealed, without which the entire structure of the national and state identity of the Ukrainian state is not viable. The conclusion is made about the need for systematic efforts of Russian political science to develop a holistic project for the political reintegration of Ukraine into Russia and the “Russian World”.
