This paper aims to investigate linguistic strategies for delineating the distinctions between the Ukrainian and Russian peoples, as well as for showcasing a divergence from the “Russian world” ideology and its principal components, such as the Russian language and culture, the Russian Orthodox church and shared memory and history. Employing a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, this study examines speeches, statements, social media posts, and select interviews of Ukrainian high-ranking officials, including Volodymyr Zelenskyi, Dmytro Kuleba, Oleksii Danilov, Mykhailo Podoliak, and Metropolitan Epiphany. date: 2025-04-11 publisher: Uzhhorod National University = ДВНЗ "Ужгородський національний університет" official_url: https://www.uzhnu.edu.ua/en/ oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual doi: 10.14324/000.ch.10206670 isbn_13: 978-617-8390-78-5 full_text_status: public place_of_pub: Uzhhorod, Ukraine pagerange: 272-286 event_title: Languages and Cultures in Times of War: (Im)possible, (Re)imagined, (Un)manageable book_title: Мови та культури під час війни: Колективна монографія = Languages and cultures in times of war: Collective monograph editors_name: Shumytska, Halyna editors_name: Krouglov, Alex citation: Pidkuimukha, Liudmyla; (2025) "Without you": distancing from the "Russian world" in statements by Ukrainian high-ranking officials.
