Abstract: Russians and Ukrainians have common cultural and historical roots this is Kievan Rus, the Old Russian language and the Orthodox faith. Both Ukraine and Russia are suffering as a result of the ongoing conflict between the two countries. Since both nations belong to a unified ethnic group, that is, they are fraternal people, the recent dispute between them came as a huge shock. The idea for this study first focused on the distinctions between these two nations and how they perceive each other. Additionally, how the dispute's origins affect family identity as well as how family identity affects conflict. This study explored intergenerational family identity negotiations in inter-ethnic marriages between Russians and Ukrainians to achieve this goal. Through this analysis, the identity positions of the two ethnic groups were examined, and an attempt was made to comprehend their disparities. A thorough analysis of three generations was completed during the investigation. Specifically, the parents and children of mixed Russian and Ukrainian households, as well as the Russian paternal grandparents and Ukrainian maternal grandparents. The two questions below were the focus of this investigation. First, given a historical and social context, what significance does interethnic marriage have? Second, how do families in interethnic unions negotiate their relational, cultural, and family identities, and what role does their family identity play?
