Assuming that the mentality of the local population is harmonically combined with the nature of historical and ethno-cultural landscape, the author explores the spatial changes in ethnocultural nature of settlements, as well as socio-psychological view of people within "their" territory on the basis of the proposed method of development of mental maps of the regions. In particular, revealed intra-cultural differences in the nature of gravity, including the neighboring regions of Russia and Ukraine. The author highlights the structural components of the cultural landscape associated with the worldview and identity of people, which allows him to delineate zones of the presence of Ukrainian culture in the Russian borderlands.
