The article analyzes the impact of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine on the modern ethno-cultural and national-patriotic development of Ukrainian students based on the materials of a sociological survey. It is proved that the results of the sociological research make it possible to characterize professionally the influence of the policy of Russian neo-imperial revanchism on ethno-cultural characteristics and others related to them among student youth. It is shown that studentship as a socio-cultural community is characterized by a certain commonality of views, social norms, value systems, guidelines and interests. It is noted that since February 24, 2022, as a result of Russia's aggression there has been a sharp change in the ideological views of Ukrainian students regarding any markers associated with the aggressor country. "Decommunization" and "derussification" of student opinion took place, everything "Soviet" is now perceived by them as Russian and hostile. It was revealed that the level of linguistic self-identification of student youth, according to the results of a sociological survey, is steadily increasing, and the war, as a challenge for the entire society, only accelerates this process, therefore, the Ukrainian language, as one of the cornerstones of statehood, is only getting stronger today, and the lines of opposition in this matter are disappearing. It was revealed that, according to the majority of surveyed students, the full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine led to the consolidation of Ukrainian society and increased patriotic feelings of citizens, therefore the vast majority of respondents joined the resistance to Russian aggression in Ukraine. It was found that the students are very interested in the events that have been taking place in Ukraine during the Russian military aggression that began in 2014, the vast majority of the respondents feel responsible for the fate of Ukraine and are convinced that it can affect its future. It was found that more than half of the respondents support receiving the Tomos on the Autocephaly of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
