Ukrainians, Poles, Lithuanians, myth of the Rzeczpospolita, European identity, mass media, oral historyAbstract
Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian contacts began during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and are still developing dynamically. Analysis of the state of interethnic relations at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries associated with overcoming the post-Soviet past as well as with modern European integration models of development and security. Attempts to regulate interethnic cooperation, in particular with Poles and Lithuanians, allow us to use their experience in settling the legal and social status of national minorities in Ukraine, constructing a model of relations with the European Union and the Russian Federation, historical memory, and regional development in the economic crisis, threats to territorial integrity and even in the context of hostilities.The formation of the vision of «own» and «foreign» among Lithuanians, Poles and Ukrainians living in border regions, in this article is presented by constructing generalized images of the country and society based on the views of residents who often visit these countries. For analysis, the sources of forming opinions about the Republic of Lithuania and the Republic of Poland, reviews of relations with Lithuanians and Poles in the Ukrainian media are taken; survey materials, interview recordings, etc. Peculiar «fl ashlights» of visions of Lithuanians and Poles by Ukrainians in the 21st century are: territorial (belonging to Eastern Europe, regional unions, political and ethnic self-determination, collective/regional security); state (declaration of independence, separation from the infl uence of the Soviet Union, attempts to settle relations with Russia, the idea of reviving the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Rzeczpospolita, «old» and «new» Europe), mental («strong state» regime, civil society; freedom and prosperity), «Own» and «foreign», the image of a single enemy), domestic (European residents and residents of post-Soviet states, Christian values and European culture) aspects.
