The study examines whether kumivstvo, godparenthood, with its, with its moral and spiritual cultural heritage in Ukrainian society, provides normative power from the bottom up rather than top down for maintaining solidarity in a polyethnic society in the face of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A mixed methodology is employed, carried out by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology. The quantitative findings report how common kumivstvo is in Ukrainian society, what its density is among different faiths and in different regions, how important the kinship heritage is to Ukrainians today, and what the proportion of interethnic kumivstvo is. The qualitative interviews reveal to what degree Russia’s invasion has desolated the trust and godparent connection between the Ukrainian and Russian peoples. There is immense strain on the integrity of these relationships; however, for some it is imaginable that these bonds may not only endure, but also revive afterward. The study asks whether Ukraine will lose an essential social structure and kinship custom that sustains its cultural hybridity when interethnic kumivstvo becomes unviable after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

战争对乌克兰种族间教父关系的影响

该研究探讨了在乌克兰社会中，kumivstvo（教父身份）及其道德和精神文化遗产是否能够自下而上而不是自上而下地提供规范权力，以在面对俄罗斯全面入侵时维持多民族社会的团结。乌克兰。采用混合方法，由基辅国际社会学研究所实施。定量研究结果报告了 kumivstvo 在乌克兰社会中的普遍程度、不同信仰和不同地区的密度、亲属传统对当今乌克兰人的重要性以及跨种族 kumivstvo 的比例。这些定性采访揭示了俄罗斯的入侵在多大程度上破坏了乌克兰和俄罗斯人民之间的信任和教父关系。这些关系的完整性受到了巨大的压力；然而，对于一些人来说，可以想象这些纽带不仅会持续下去，而且会在之后复活。该研究询问，在俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰后，当种族间的库米夫斯特沃（kumivstvo）变得不可行时，乌克兰是否会失去维持其文化混杂性的基本社会结构和血缘习俗。
