Soviet culture during the Great Patriotic War and the postwar period is conventionally divided into two periods: Soviet culture during the war years 1941-1945; and Soviet culture in the postwar period 1946-1950s. Of course, these stages of the evolution of Soviet culture differ from each other in many respects, as well as in the most important, that is, in their substantive relation. What suffered during the war during the first stage was either restored or rebuilt after the end of the war. Soviet culture during the Great Patriotic War suffered greatly in material and organizational terms. However, at the same time, the culture of the USSR in the years of the war acquired a great deal spiritually and morally. Previously unprecedented patriotism raised the whole country, the entire multinational Soviet people, to fight against the common worst enemy of all progressive humanity - fascism. Soviet culture reflected this rise in patriotism in music, painting, theater and cinema, on stage, in sculpture and architecture, etc. This time was the heyday of the multinational character of the Soviet people, the time of the epochal upsurge of folk culture, folk art, and the consciousness of the masses of the Soviet people.

The history of The Great Patriotic War, which was the greatest test for Russia in the 20th century and whose 75th anniversary was celebrated in 2020, contains many topics that have not been well studied. One such topic is the activity of Russian folk crafts during wartime, among which the lacquered miniatures of Palekh, Mstyora, Kholui, and Fedoskino occupy a special place. This article provides one of the first complex studies of the economic, social, and artistic activities of all four centers of Russian lacquers during the war. In addition to information about the contribution of artists and residents of these villages to victory, the article reveals the main events and results of the development of Russian lacquer crafts during the war. These include exhibition activity and work of local art schools, the activities of artists in propaganda, and lacquered miniatures. Further, the article explores the state purchase orders and work of miniaturists for private purchases, the field of state regulation in folk art, and the loss of life suffered by villages. Special attention is paid to gender-related processes in Russian crafts, as well as support measures that the Soviet state provided to folk art during the war. The author concludes that the Great Patriotic War, despite losses and difficulties, became a time of development for the lacquer crafts in Russia, ensuring their subsequent development in the post-war years.

The article highlights the essence of the concept «ethnodesign». Features of using ethnodesign tools in creative socio-cultural projects of artistic institutions by future and leading designers are considered. The following etnotematics are rethinking: national motives of folk culture, fine and decorative arts, architecture, interest in traditional decoration and colors. The author analyzes the concepts of ethnodesign and the specifics of its use in different time periods. Cosmopolitanism of design solutions and internationality of figurative language make design products understandable for the masses, regardless of religious, national, ideological, etc. Therefore, there is a need for national identity in society, the need to promote the product on the international market as a national brand, there is a rethinking of the reference to cultural heritage. In modern artistic institutions, ethnodesign encourages future designers to engage in creative, research, analytical, and cognitive activities.Modern ethnodesign should successfully combine elements of traditional decorative and applied art solutions, as well as a combination of aesthetically related colorful and graphic properties. Understanding the complexity of national traditions and bold experiments of design students shows the polystylistic variety of author's interpretations in the General line of postmodern ethnic romanticism. The ethnodesign inspires by folk art and ethnic motives. It is applied the stylistic and decorative techniques for folk art and crafts development in interior design, graphic works, landscape design, industrial design, and clothing design. Despite the freedom in global design, the national design space remains an insufficiently formed model of national design, so further development is a priority for Ukrainian design theorists and practitioners

This chapter evaluates the question of the ‘complex’ in a range of scientific, political and psychoanalytic contexts, asking not only where lines of connection and demarcation occur among specific distributions of meaning, value, theory and practice; but also probing the psychoanalytic corpus, notably Freud’s writings on the notion of a ‘complex’, in order to reframe various implications of the idea that this term tends to resist its own utilisation as both an object and form of analysis. This section establishes connections between three sets of theoretical questions: the common practice of describing modernity and its wake in terms of a drive towards increasing complexity; the meaning and cultural legacy of phrases such as ‘military-industrial complex’ and sundry derivations in the political sphere; and the intricacies and ambiguities subtending the term ‘complex’ within psychoanalytic theory. As a concept that Freud both utilised and repudiated, the provocative power of the term ‘complex’ is linked to the way it thwarts various attempts at systemization (providing nonetheless an apparatus of sorts through which contemporary science, Slavoj Žižek, Noam Chomsky, Freud, Eisenhower, and post-war politics can be articulated to one another).

High culture is a collection of ideologies, beliefs, thoughts, trends, practices and works-- intellectual or creative-- that is intended for refined, cultured and educated elite people. Low culture is the culture of the common people and the mass. Popular culture is something that is always, most importantly, related to everyday average people and their experiences of the world; it is urban, changing and consumeristic in nature. Folk culture is the culture of preindustrial (premarket, precommodity) communities.

Since peaceful coexistence reflects in its various aspects the concept of harmony between the members of the same society with their different national, religious and sectarian affiliations, as well as their attitudes and ideas, what brings together these are the common bonds such as land, interests and common destiny. But this coexistence is exposing for crises and instability and the theft of rights and other that destroy the communities with their different religious, national, sectarian, ethnic aspects, especially if these led to a crisis of fighting or war, which produces only destruction and mass displacement, ttherefore, the process of bridging the gap between the different parts of society in the post-war phase through a set of requirements that serve as the basis for the promotion of peaceful coexistence within the same country to consolidate civil and community peace in order to create a general framework and a coherent basis to reconstruct the community again.      Hence the premise of the research by asking about the extent of the possibility and ability of the community of religious and ethnic diversity, which has been exposed to these crises, which aimed at this diversity, basically to be able to rise and re-integrate within the same country and thus achieve civil and community peace, and Mosul is an example for that, the negative effects of the war and the accomplices of many criminal acts have given rise to hatred and fear for all, leading to the loss of livelihoods, which in the long term may have devastating social and psychological consequences.        To clarify all of this, the title of the first topic was a review of the concept and origin of peaceful coexistence. While the second topic dealt with the requirements of peaceful coexistence and social integration in Mosul, the last topic has identified the most important challenges facing the processes of coexistence and integration in Mosul. All this in order to paint a better future for the conductor at all levels in the near term at the very least to achieve the values of this peaceful coexistence, especially in the post-war period.
