  I started my research in Izsnyéte, Transcarpathia, in 2012 with an anthropological research group. Initially, we were curious about the coexistence mechanisms of the local settlement, the cultural peculiarities of the ethnic groups living there, but due to the war situation, we had to stop our empirical research sooner before 2015. In 2017, as a doctoral student, I continued my empirical research in Izsnyéte, where Hungarians represent an absolute majority against the state-forming Ukrainian ethnic group. The basic research concept was to choose a local settlement close to the border where two or three different ethnicities have lived together for decades. In my study, I examine the process of ethnicity production and the processes of image and change of the living ethnicities of the settlement and their applicability to each other in comparison with the data of previous research, reflecting on the changes, mainly in the light of assimilation. Already the results of the 2012 research showed spatial isolation, in many cases dissimilation was experienced among coexisting ethnicities, but with many other factors and aspects several years later, it caused diverse processes.

  In the paper, we try to demonstrate what migration trends in Beregszász have been conducted
  in focus group discussions on everyday ethnicity, and how ethnicity appears in these migration
  processes. In the study, we mainly summarize the findings of the research, which we carried
  out in the summer of 2016 and reflected in some descriptions of the changes that have taken
  place since the summer of 2017. The study is primarily descriptive and only interprets issues
  within ethnicity and ethnic categories, we do not aim to compare the conclusions with previous
  migration research results. In the analysis, the social constructivism methodological approach
  is applied. Our aim is to present the discourses: how the opinions are constructed and differing
  opinions can form unity.
