Abstract. The study considered ways to preserve the Ukrainian identity. The analysis was carried out through the study of periodicals of the 1930s-1940s and personal documents. However, to a greater extent, the answer to the problem posed was given by the analysis of the collected interviews and descendants of Ukrainians. According to their stories, it was possible to find out whether the connection with the motherland was preserved in Magnitogorsk. The most important conclusion is the ways of preservation: language, cuisine, culture, traditions. The study is important for Ukrainian studies, as well as for studying the history of the city in the early years of its existence.
Keywords: Magnitogorsk, ethnic identity, Ukraine, USSR, oral history.
