Based on the monograph <i>Ukrainian Encyclopedias in Current Socio-Communicative Challenges</i> (Kyiv, 2024), the authors examine the difficulties that the industry has encountered amidst Russian aggression. The study emphasizes the importance of encyclopedias in affirming national identity and countering harmful disinformation, including anti-Ukrainian narratives. The role of the <i>Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine</i> in this process is highlighted. Війна поставила перед українською енциклопедистикою низку нових викликів, пов’язаних із фінансуванням, кадровими проблемами та обмеженням доступу до перевірених інформаційних джерел. Спираючись на монографію “Українська енциклопедистика в соціокомунікативних викликах сучасності” (Київ, 2024), автори пропонують оглянути деякі аспекти сучасного стану української енциклопедичної галузі в умовах російської агресії. Акцентовано на важливості енциклопедій для утвердження національної ідентичності та протидії шкідливій (зокрема й антиукраїнській) дезінформації. Наголошено на ролі “Енциклопедії Сучасної України” у цьому процесі. https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/article/140 encyclopedism Ukrainian encyclopedias Russian war against Ukraine social communications cultural resistance Ishchenko, O., & Stepanenko, M.
