Abstract
The article contains the author’s reflections on possible technologies for reformatting anti-Russian attitudes among some of the residents of the territories liberated during their liberation, who came under the ideological influence of the “Zelensky regime.” To understand the motivation and worldview attitudes of residents, it is proposed to use methods of social psychoanalysis, in particular, methods of analyzing mental fields and deep attitudes. It is argued that in order to reduce the degree of trauma, not only explanatory (at the psychotherapeutic level) work is necessary, but also a lot of work to meet the existential needs and material needs of residents. In other words, we are talking about creating a favorable living environment in which working with the worldview of new citizens will be most effective. The author of the article is the head of a group of researchers analyzing the sentiments and expectations of the population in the liberated territories of Ukraine. The conclusions and recommendations are based on materials obtained during field research.
