“…До того ж ні індуїзм, ні християнство, ні іслам, ні будь-яка інша традиційна релігійна система не спроможні створити умови для глобальної консолідації людських спільнот та ефективної боротьби проти агресора та агресії. [19].…”

The current phase of putin's russia's war against Ukraine is fundamentally changing world geopolitics today. Ukraine turned out to be a battlefield of civilizations based on the principles of freedom and democracy (on the one hand), totalitarianism and total disregard for human rights (on the other). Taking into account the existing and future challenges faced by warring Ukraine, it is necessary to take a close look at the neo-religious movements that are spreading on the territory of the country. In part icular, take a closer look from the point of view of totalitarian/anti-totalitarian foundations of their functioning. Such research is of unique importance due to the fact that the process of development of religious culture is directly related to the emergence of new symbolic systems, which, in turn, not only reflect changes in the field of religiosity, but also influence the formation of new contents of social existence and the state of society. And this process is especially irritating for the country, which has been in a state of ideological, and not only military, aggression by the totalitarian Putin regime for eight years. A significant number of neo-religious movements that arise and spread in the modern world testify to the development of processes of transformation of the established religious culture. Such neo-religious movements include the Falun Gong (Falun Dafa) movement, which is quite popular in today's Ukraine. This neo-religious movement attracts special attention due to the need to understand how a democratic state should build its relations with neo-religious entities, what it can afford in the process of establishing communication with believers, and what it should refrain from. The article concludes that on the way to victory over a dangerous aggressor, the anti-totalitarian social attitudes of the citizens of the warring country in all spheres of social life, in particular, in the religious sphere, are o f particular importance. In addition to traditional religiosity, neo-religious movements and organizations have become widely spread in Ukraine, to which a clear attitude has not been developed both by the authorities and the public, and by modern Ukrainian socio-humanitarian studies. Among such movements is the Falun Gong movement that came from China. Both this neo-religious movement, which is evaluated by the civilized world as anti -totalitarian and opposed to the repressive practices of the Chinese government, and other similar neo-religious movements spreading on the territory of Ukraine, require special attention, study and response from the Ukrainian general public and power structures.

The article presents the analyses of the contemporary scientific understanding of the time gender aspects in the context of the social conflicts theories. It is accentuated that nowadays the life of the Ukrainian society is determined by two cultural codes: on the one hand, it is still the phase of the non-completed modernity project; on the other, – the western cultural postmodernity has been actively constructing its models of social practices in Ukraine for quite a number of recent years. Hence the specificity of social conflicts transformations in our country: contradictory modern and postmodern modes in their interrelation have a great impact on the social conflicts in Ukraine. It is significant that the typology of social conflicts and the motives for their origin are presented in this paper in their close interconnection with the aspects of the phenomenon of gender temporality, an attempt to manage the social temporality as the definite measurement of the social conflicts processes and their results. It is stressed that in the scientific literature the two temporality models prevail now: the mobilizing model and the model of the medium and eschatological time. These two models of gender temporality, namely, the mobilizing and eschatological ones, are analyzed and defined as such models that greatly influence the formation of the contemporary conflict-oriented social landscapes. The assumption of the gender temporality as a definite measurement of social conflicts and is accentuated by the concluding ideas of its actual capacity to be a kind of modus vivendi to their solution. The policy of the “unity of differences”, which is a basis of the contemporary feminist agenda, and the “ethics of care” should become a model for the current development of the Ukrainian society and the supposed future transformations.
