Abstract
Background: Understanding the socio-political situation in Ukraine under martial law as a result of the full-scale invasion of Russia requires an analysis of the transformation of people's lives in the conditions of new extreme realities. It is the analysis of everyday life and its transformation that is the key to unraveling the ability of a person to survive and preserve human dignity in extreme conditions of wars, revolutions, terror, famine and adapt to extremely difficult life circumstances. Purpose: Definition and description of the positions of Ukrainians in the attitude to the war with Russia and the reflection of this attitude in the discourses of military everyday life. Concept/Methods. The subject of analysis were 30 transcripts of semi-structured interviews, which were subjected to thematic analysis. Based on the categories identified in the thematic analysis, criteria were identified that differentiate the attitude of Ukrainians to the war, namely personalization/depersonalization, media practice of content consumption; evaluation of the so-called "we-relationship"; reflection on changes in the field of everyday life, the process of adaptation to changes, ideas about exemplary behavior. Results and conclusion. The analysis of the results made it possible to outline the problematic sphere of assessing the attitude of Ukrainians to a full-scale war with Russia and the reflection of this attitude in the discourse of military everyday life. Based on the criteria that differentiate this attitude, three typical positions in the attitude of Ukrainians to the war were singled out - the position of an outside observer, the position of an optimistic fatalist, and the position of a rational optimist. Conclusion: The typology of ideas and types of attitude of Ukrainians to the military reality needs to be checked and further clarified within the framework of a quantitative study to find out the quantitative indicators of the prevalence of the specified positions. Key words: Russia's war in Ukraine, military everyday life, qualitative research methods, military discourse, the position of an outside observer, the position of an optimistic fatalist, the position of a rational optimist
