Ukraine experienced expansionism by multiple foreign groups and states throughout its history. However, Russian colonization of the 18th and 19th centuries and Soviet colonization of 1921–1991 had the most significant impact on Ukrainian national state formation and cultural identification through organized Russian supremacy, systemic totalitarian ideology, and methodical Ukrainian language suppression in public spaces. This paper focuses on developing data management tools to identify the representation of Russian colonial impact in Ukrainian public art through analysis of Ukrainian monuments included in the State Monuments’ Rosters for the Sumy region, a territory bordering Russia. The study utilizes digital data collection apparatus and data analysis to evaluate the distribution of monuments as the primary descriptive research technique. A Monument Digital Identification Card was created to indicate that the Russian colonial impact in the Sumy region, represented in monuments through identified criteria such as epoch, political narratives, personalities, and texts’ language, is higher than Ukrainian statehood narratives. The developed data management tools compare the degree of colonial impact in public art objects installed and included in the State Monuments’ Rosters before 1991 and after Ukraine gained independence. An increase in totalitarian propaganda in 1921–1991 directly impacted the number and narratives of monuments, with 94.9% reflecting colonial narratives and only 5.1% representing national identity. At the same time, no increase in Ukrainian national narratives has been identified since Ukrainian independence in 1991. The research findings confirm the need for state regulatory reforms and regional authorities’ amendments to achieve historical justice.

In the context of digital transformation, the education sector needs innovative solutions to ensure continuity and quality of the learning process amidst contemporary challenges. One solution is using cloud technologies, which allow for the virtualization and replication of key institutional processes, from academic programs to campus operations. In this regard, this article aims to identify the challenges associated with the concept of cloud universities and their impact on the resilience of higher education. A science mapping analysis is conducted based on the most relevant scientific papers indexed in the international Scopus database from 2000 to 2024 using Scopus and SciVal built-in tools and the Science Mapping Analysis Tool. The results show a significant increase in the number of studies, especially within the fields of Computer Science and Social Sciences, dedicated to the use of cloud services and technology in education, with a growing focus on “digital twins”. The application of science mapping tools revealed key trends in research development, which evolved from the development and optimization of cloud infrastructure and difficulties of technological usage and the adoption of new technologies by users to the deep integration of various technologies into the educational process, exploring their reception by students and teachers, as well as the effectiveness of these initiatives. The analysis identified key challenges cloud universities face, such as the need for reliable technical infrastructure, adherence to cybersecurity standards, preparing educators and students for working with new technologies, financial costs of implementing cloud technologies, and ensuring academic integrity.
