The Societal Consequences of War: Social Science Perspectives and Findings From Ukraine
War is an enduring feature of human society, capable of reshaping demographic patterns, economies, institutions, identities, and everyday life. Yet sociological research has given comparatively limited attention to its consequences, largely ceding this large, complex research territory to neighboring disciplines. To map this terrain for sociologists who may wish to venture there, we synthesize theory and evidence across four domains of central co…
United in Trust: Ukrainian Attitudes to the European Parliament After the Russian Invasion (2022)
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has reshaped public opinion toward the EU and European institutions. Using unique two-wave panel data collected before and after February 2022, we examine how war-related threats have affected Ukrainians’ trust in the European Parliament. Our findings show that trust in the European Parliament increased following the invasion, and that this increase was more pronounced among those with a lower prewar Europe…
Bridging the Gap: A Mediation Analysis of War Exposure, Feeling of Insecurity and Religiosity
This study examines whether feelings of existential insecurity mediate the relationship between war exposure and religiosity. We analyze a nationwide cross‐sectional survey (September 2023; N = 2767) conducted in Ukraine during the ongoing war, applying partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS SEM) to model two outcomes: (1) the importance of the supernatural and (2) engagement in spiritual practices. We test whether direct persona…

Ukrainian decentralization under martial law: Challenges for Regional and Local Self-Governance
Addressing climate change with behavioral science: A global intervention tournament in 63 countries
Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interve…
How Feeling Understood Predicts Trust and Willingness to Forgive in the Midst of Violent Intergroup Conflict: Longitudinal Evidence From Ukraine
How can intergroup trust and forgiveness be fostered in the face of violent, large-scale intergroup conflict? We addressed this challenge by testing the role of intergroup felt understanding—the extent to which outgroup members are perceived to understand ingroup perspectives—in predicting Ukrainian nationals’ inclinations to trust and forgive Russians for the conflict that has affected Ukraine since 2014. We did so using representative longitudi…
Explaining Ukraine's resilience to Russia's invasion: The role of local governance
Resilience of local communities (territorial hromadas) is an increasingly salient matter in the academic and policy debate on the factors which have determined Ukraine's resilience to Russia's 2022 invasion. Building on existing literature on institutional resilience and its predictors, this article explains the ability of Ukrainian self‐governed municipalities to withstand the threats to institutional stability stemming from the invasion. First,…

Orthodox Churches during the Pandemic in Ukraine and Georgia: Narratives and New Practices
While some religious institutions postponed their religious services during the pandemic, Orthodox Christian churches insisted on keeping their doors open. Why did churches challenge social distancing policies, and how did they succeed in defying state authority at any cost? We address this puzzle drawing on an analysis of official statements, media, in-depth interviews, and surveys in Georgia and Ukraine conducted in 2020 and 2021. Our data sugg…
Social Estates, Occupation, and Hisco: A New Study of Odesa in 1897
Odesa was one of the largest and most important cities in the Russian Empire. Numerous studies have addressed the economic development and social structure of Odesa, but there are some gaps in the knowledge of the social stratification during the nineteenth century. Although most studies of the social and economic histories of Ukraine provide qualitative or highly aggregated quantitative data, micro-data at the level of individuals and households…
Longitudinal change in language behaviour during protests: A case study of Euromaidan in Ukraine
The globalizability of temporal discounting
Economic inequality is associated with preferences for smaller, immediate gains over larger, delayed ones. Such temporal discounting may feed into rising global inequality, yet it is unclear whether it is a function of choice preferences or norms, or rather the absence of sufficient resources for immediate needs. It is also not clear whether these reflect true differences in choice patterns between income groups. We tested temporal discounting an…
Coronavirus conspiracy beliefs and distrust of science predict risky public health behaviours through optimistically biased risk perceptions in Ukraine, Turkey, and Germany
The present paper examines the extent to which conspiracy beliefs about the COVID-19 outbreak and distrust of epidemiological science are likely to predict optimistically biased risk perceptions at the individual and group levels. We explored the factor structure of coronavirus conspiracy beliefs and their associations with trust in science in predicting risk perceptions using survey data collected in Ukraine ( N = 390), Turkey ( N = 290), and Ge…
When Church Competition Matters? Intra-doctrinal Competition in Ukraine, 1992-2012
Scholars of religious revivals in post-Communist societies have long criticized the church competition hypothesis. While this hypothesis postulates a positive relationship between church competition and religious vitality, many have challenged this idea both theoretically and empirically. However, this consensus could be revisited in light of more recent literature which states that church competition should be theorized and measured in a broader…
Wages of male and female domestic workers in the Cossack Hetmanate: Poltava, 1765 to 1769
This paper investigates wage inequalities among domestic workers in early modern Poltava (present day Ukraine), which was an important military-administrative of a Cossack Hetmanate, which was an autonomy within the Russian Empire. The data are derived from Rumyantsev census conducted between 1765 and 1769 (N = 1,109). While previous studies often measured domestic workers’ wages indirectly, this historical source contains direct information on t…
