Abstract
Aim. To reveal key principles that contribute to increasing the effectiveness of the cultural integration of the territories liberated during the Special Military Operation into Russia.
Methodology. The study utilized retrospective, cultural, historical, and sociological analysis.
Results. The study established that the integration of the liberated territories of Novorossiya into the Russian Federation has deep cultural and historical roots, that the preservation and strengthening of the Russian World or Russian worldview is important for the self-identification of the Russian people in their relationship with the rest of the world, and that the cultural and historical heritage of the Luhansk region is a key element of the historical memory of representatives of Russian civilization. It is concluded that, amid tense political relations between Russia and the Western world, the cultural and historical heritage of the liberated southeastern territories of Ukraine creates a value-oriented foundation for the future of Russia and the Russian World as a whole.
Research implications consist in the development of recommendations for preserving cultural heritage and strengthening Russian identity.
