In the present analysis socio-humanities axiological aspects of ideological systems of different peoples and countries of the world is important. For Ukrainian studies equally important is the analysis of public perceptions of modern Ukrainian national idea.

The authors of the article develop the Ukrainian version of the «smart power» strategy as a key prerequisite for Ukraine"s victory in the Russian-Ukrainian neo-imperial war. To solve this problem, an integrative approach was used, which involves considering the object of study in its connections and interdependencies with other processes and phenomena, as well as taking into account the interaction of various factors that determine the formation and development of conflictizational phenomena. Integrative capabilities of modern Ukrainian studies allow combining conceptual tools and research principles not only of Ukrainian studies and social philosophy, but also of history, political science, information science, sociology, psychology, socio-cultural anthropology, imperialology, communication studies, post-colonial studies and military science in the study of the strategy of a «smart power» in the conditions of modern challenges and threats.
