The purpose is to consider identity conflicts as a specific form of modern socio-cultural and military challenges that reflect worldview contradictions in completely opposite interpretations of civilizational values and are very difficult to resolve constructively.
Methodological approaches are based on the application of the geoconflictological paradigm, which focuses attention on the study of geopolitical and geocultural factors associated with the emergence, development, and consequences of various conflicts and the formation of new security strategies capable of countering hybrid threats.
Scientific novelty. Methodological models and theoretical constructions capable of generating strategies for solving identity crises in the modern heterogeneous “risk society” are represented through the prism of understanding the genesis of territorial-identification confrontations on the Ukrainian-Russian border with the help of the concept of “identity conflicts”.
Conclusions. Focusing attention on the spatial determinants of the occurrence of identities conflicts in border areas will make it possible to realize the significance of the cultural-mental border as a symbolic marker of border existence, to rethink the process of formation of identities conflicts in the Ukrainian-Russian border area with the obligatory clarification of the causes and mechanisms of conflict confrontation. In this perspective, the concept of “identity conflicts” can be considered as a methodological construct for the study of modern socio-transformational dynamics and the construction of a system of national informational and cultural security in the context of the formation of a consolidation image
