A historical event through the eyes of participants and observers

This work is devoted to the portrayal and analysis of the most important event of modern Ukrainian history - the conflict in Donbass. The purpose of the monograph: to reveal patterns of transformation in the perception of both "big" history and everyday life, which, so to speak, are seen through the lens of what is happening. Because of the difficulties in interviewing respondents, the author was forced to abandon quantitative methods of sociological research and turn to a qualitative method, namely in-depth interviewing. Nevertheless, the empirical results obtained gave the author the basis for a theoretical analysis and a certain generalization of insiders' views of the events in which they were involved. The advantage of the monograph is, on the one hand, the author's direct proximity to the events analyzed and, on the other hand, his specialization in the problems of the philosophy of history. The first aspect makes it possible to directly perceive the events, the second - the possibility of their theoretical comprehension not only in sociological but also in philosophical perspective. For historians, sociologists, political scientists, social philosophers, and all those interested in contemporary history.
