“…Recent studies (Haydabrus et al, 2022) already show that there is a large negative impact on military personnel in Ukraine, which causes overload in asylums. Experience of war in different parts of the world at different times also shows that war and other disasters make a great impact on trauma development among civilians (Betancourt et al, 2020;Bratti et al, 2015), including those, who had to escape their homes (Bürgin et al, 2022). In addition, this kind of impact can be transmitted through generations.…”

The Russian-Ukrainian war is a global critical event that impacted a variety of nations, but Ukrainians have surely suffered the most. A number of Russian celebrities have openly supported the war and the politics of President Putin. Nevertheless, despite the cruelty of the enemy, the destruction of the infrastructure, and the deaths of military personnel and civilians, many Ukrainians still continue to interact with Russian culture in a variety of ways. The major aim of the presented study was to identify the reasons why Ukrainians maintain contact or stop it and the types of culture that interaction is continued with. We have outlined four major factors that could impact the decision to interact or stop interacting: socio-demographic, psychological, emotional, and situational or forced interaction (interaction out of need). The results have shown that spoken language is a clear predictor of the continuation or termination of the interaction: Russian-speaking Ukrainians tend to continue interaction; the majority of Ukrainians continue interaction mainly due to the absence of Ukrainian analogues of similar cultural products and/or types; most Ukrainians keep interacting with bloggers and musicians; the position of the artist regarding the war defines the intentions to continue interaction; extraverted Ukrainians continue interaction but eventually tend to stop it, while more open Ukrainians stopped at the beginning of the war but tend to continue in the future; the majority of Ukrainians continue interaction due to an emotional need and stop it due to their emotional unacceptance of anything Russian-related.

“…Some studies trace an explicit link from conflict through mental health to lost income. Bratti, Mendolab, and Mirandac (2016) study the impact of the 1992-95 Bosnia and Herzegovina conflict on mental health and individual labor market outcomes six years after the conflict. Theirs is one of few currently available papers that incorporate outcomes used to measure economic welfare.…”

“…For example,Kessler et al (2008) estimate total societal cost of mental illness in the United States to be $193.2 billion per year during the period 2001-2003.2 For example, studies have examined the effects of contemporaneous changes in socio-economic conditions such as exposure to financial crisis(Friedman and Thomas, 2009); labor market conditions(Marcus, 2013); access to social protection(Baird et al, 2013); and changes in migration policies(Venkataramani et al, 2017). With relation to conflict, studies find that participation in (or exposure to) conflict during adulthood may have adverse affects on mental health(Do and Iyer, 2012;Brattia et al, 2016;Moya, 2018).…”
