Having lost Crimea, Ilovaisk, Debaltsevo and Donetsk airport, Ukrainians became a nation of winners - Lviv psychologist
Ukrainians have revived their passionarity, that is, the desire to achieve their ideals, and have ceased to chronically play the role of a defeated, occupied and repressed nation.

Psychologist Rostislav Grivul expressed this opinion in a commentary to the ZIK television channel.
“A nation that loses passionarity becomes impoverished. She dies. And a nation that finds passionarity can develop. And, thank God, Ukrainians have revived that passionarity. This also requires an understanding of history,” the psychologist noted.
At the same time, Rostislav Grivul compared the history of a nation with the childhood of an individual.
“If there is not sufficient support for self-esteem in childhood, then a masochistic position and a losing position are formed. When people don't speak correctly about their past, they are doomed to fail. Confronting external enemies requires consolidation and your own resources. Therefore, the search for your own heroes, the search for your own significant achievements gives strength and inspiration in the present,” said Grivul.
