Developing a Sustainable Socio-Communicative Model of Commemorating the Russian-Ukrainian War Based on a Sustainable Humanitarian Paradigm and Artificial Intelligence

This workshop examines digital sovereignty in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine, focusing on how digital platforms shape content visibility, information circulation, and interpretations of war through algorithms. Participants will analyze the evolving roles of media and users in creating commemorative narratives, the blurring of boundaries between fact and narrative, and the impact of language on war perception. The session also introduces analytical approaches to evaluating the resilience of socio-communicative practices and highlights the importance of reconsidering the “cost of free” platforms to address manipulation risks and promote responsible digital behavior.

Participants will understand digital sovereignty as a multidimensional concept that includes not only data protection but also the shaping of collective memory in digital environments. They will explore how platform-based ecosystems influence information flows, war narratives, and user perceptions, and reflect on the risks and responsibilities associated with “free” digital services.
