How does conflict and violence shape community cohesion? Past research suggests that exposure to political violence can lead to pro-social behavior in affected communities, but also that armed conflict can decrease community cohesion. Ukraine, following Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, is a case where individuals have experienced various forms of violence. We investigate the effects of different types of occupation violence. In particular, our study surveys citizens living in Kharkiv Oblast - a region in Ukraine that has been partially occupied by Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (AFRF) until its liberation by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) in September 2022. Our survey compares perceptions of community cohesion across two groups: residents of areas that were never occupied and those in areas under occupation from February to September 2022. We find that the legacy of Russia's occupation shapes community cohesion in complex ways. Although occupation fosters local cohesion, it simultaneously undermines it indirectly through accusations of collaboration, which likely breed suspicion and division, weakening local trust.
