The significance of the activity of cultural and informational centres of the region is substantiated, their powerful educational potential aimed at increasing the prestige and security of the state, which is one of the main tasks of modern patriotic education, is determined. The historiography of the study includes three thematic groups: the first group includes sources dedicated to contemporary issues of patriotic education; the second group of works consists of materials on issues of social communication and information resources, and the third group of scientific works is devoted to highlighting the activities of archival institutions. The activity of cultural and information centres is aimed at increasing the prestige and security of the state, because only under the condition of balanced cooperation of information institutions, Ukraine is able to decently resist Russian occupation both on the battlefield and in the information war. Modern cultural and information centres, acting as powerful repeaters of the state ideology and social ideas of the Ukrainians, on the one hand, form, protect and spread the Ukrainian information space, fitting it into the European context, and on the other hand, realizing a powerful educational potential, fulfil super-tasks in the field of development of young individuals – forming a new Ukrainian national-patriotic elite.
