Abstract: With the end of the Cold War, the process of broadening and deepening the term “security” began, drawing attention to its non-military aspects. Among other things, the concept of cultural security and, more recently, the cultural security of national and ethnic minorities have emerged in scientific discourse. This article aims to analyse the cultural security of the Russian minority under conditions of the Russo-Ukrainian War in selected Central and Eastern European countries (Belarus, Lithuania, and Poland). It is noted that war is a significant determinant of the cultural security of minorities, regardless of the degree of involvement of the minority’s country of residence and spiritual homeland in the conflict. Hence, countries not directly involved in the war were selected for detailed analysis.
