The article addresses the structural–temporal changes in the characteristics of the labour market in the oblasts of the Carpathian region of Ukraine (Lvivska, Zakarpatska, Ivano-Frankivska and Chernivetska) due to the large-scale Russian military invasion of Ukraine. Regional, sectoral and market condition–related changes in the labour market and employment in the region during the war are identified. The article defines the threats to the functioning of the regional labour market, which are related to growing unemployment, increasing pressure on social infrastructure and the domestic labour market, reduction in human resources and the growing trend of relocation of business and skilled workers from the western oblasts of Ukraine to other countries. The policy for social-labour stabilisation of the oblasts in the Carpathian region of Ukraine in conditions of war and post-war recovery is substantiated.
It is expected that people from all over the world will visit Ukraine after its victory in the war against Russian aggression, turning Ukraine into a world-popular tourist destination. Hence, Ukrainian egislation on tourism must be improved in the post-war period. The authors analysed the current legislation on tourism in Ukraine and identified major problems that must be addressed systematically and those that should be settled in the post-war period in view of the post-war humanitarian, socio-economic, institutional, and cultural challenges. In this context, the authors proposed a set of changes to improve Ukraine’s legislation on tourism on the national and institutional levels. Such changes should positively impact other socio-economic processes of reconstruction in post-war Ukraine.

Miasto socjalistyczne kojarzy się głównie z imperialną architekturą Mińska czy wschodniego Berlina, funkcjonalnym podziałem dzielnic, monumentalnymi budynkami publicznymi bądź blokowiskami. Artykuł ma na celu rekonstrukcję wizji rozwoju miasta w pierwszym okresie powojennym 1945–1949. Na przykładzie Łodzi, największego miasta Polski przy zburzonej Warszawie i robotniczej stolicy przemysłu włókienniczego, rekonstruuje prasowe dyskursy modernizacyjne, pokazując, że w pierwszym okresie odbudowy proponowano skromne wizje rozwoju miasta, dostosowane do potrzeb mieszkańców i wygody życia codziennego. Dopiero z zaostrzeniem kursu politycznego po 1948 r. zostały one zastąpione przez śmiałe wizje socjalistycznego miasta, gigantycznych inwestycji i budowy nowych dzielnic dla robotniczych mas.
