What is Hybrid Identity

Chapter 12
Handbook of Research on the Regulation of the Modern Global Migration and Economic Crisis
Refers to a change of identity within certain circumstances. This is the ability of the person to have a few identities and easily change them without any reference to external negative circumstances. Thus, a person does not pretend that he or she believes in one version of history or shares one national identity. A person with a hybrid identity under any circumstances can change these principles, not because of rational reasons (the aim to survive) but because he/she likes this way of things, and for he/she it is optimal for quick changes in perception of events and history as well as his/her position in society and national state.

Abstract
Historical memory and national identity can be used as effective tools of the modern asymmetric warfare. Historical memory is considered to be a part of a complex system of collective consciousness, cultural, and historical traditions of the group. The main function of historical memory is transfer of experience and knowledge about the past to establish the basis of group self-identification, namely national identity. National identity is based on a number of narratives which exist in person's and group's consciousness. While investigating tools and mechanisms of informational warfare which can be effectively used in modern wars, it would be rather illustrative to see the massive use of propaganda weapons against Ukraine before and during the Russian-Ukrainian war (RUW).
