Summary/Abstract: One of the most striking aspects of Odesa is that it is a city with a strong local identity. Its local history and multi-ethnic nature have contributed to the fact the city’s residents have regarded themselves first and foremost as Odesans. Traditionally, the residents of Odesa were uninterested in politics. However, the EuroMaidan Revolution and the outbreak of war with Russia have now put Odesans in a difficult situation, forcing them to take a different look at their past and take care about their future.
