  According to the results of the youth research, young people are often pointless and find it difficult to plan for the future. Based on the results of a qualitative study conducted in 2018, this study presents the future plans of a special target group of young people aged 19–25 living in villages who have completed their education. We looked at how young people think about their career paths at school and in the labor market and also their future residence. Based on their ideas on their future, we classified young people into three types (conscious future builder, drifting, accumulator of failures) and, in the analysis, we present each vision indicator based on the types examined. We will also look at how the educational gap between young people and the current situation in life influence future plans.

  The relation between power and public space has been one of the main interest of geographical
  research in the last decades (Massey 1994, Mitchell 2003). Researches have illustrated that
  following a regime change, the symbolic space of the city – compiled of street names, statues
  and monuments – usually gets reconfigured. Following the Euromaidan, in 2015, the laws on
  decommunization were accepted in Ukraine, which disposed more comprehensibly than ever before the banishment of Communist symbols from the public space. The decommunization
  besides toponymy, entangled other elements of public space resulting in major shifts the urban
  landscape as well.
  Main interest of present paper is to study the major shifts in symbolic landscape in the capital,
  Kyiv and compare it to the processes that have taken place in the westernmost periphery of the
  country, Transcarpathia. Based on the examples of Uzhhorod, Berehove raion and Berehove, our
  further aim is to shed light on the role of locality and how local memory is represented in public
  space.
