This tendency is seen in almost all communication spheres, including public media speech. Hate speech has emerged as the anticipated outcome of the crisis adjustment in the communicative inventory of Ukrainians. Curses are an effective means of hate speech in its institutional and profane forms, rooted in religious communication. The use of curses in various religious traditions has revealed a wide range of communicative intentions, from fear and destruction to protection and higher justice. In the Ukrainian context, household curses gradually lost their invective potential and primarily served as a communicative marker of affective empathy. However, the Russian-Ukrainian war changed this trend. Ukrainian curses demonstrated the effect of \u201cforgetting as the ability to reconstruct\u201d of new forms of both reproduction and sublimation of emotional negativity in wartime.<\/p>\n<p><em>Keywords:<\/em> curse; hate speech; Russian-Ukrainian war; media and political technology<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/press.azbuki.bg\/en\/member-login\/\">Log in to read the full text<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olena Klymentova Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine) https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53656\/bel2025-3-7O Abstract.
