Migration experience is full of challenges for immigrants, among which are the sense of cultural security and person’s identity. Living in a new cultural environment and comparing themselves to the local people, immigrants reconceive their life and themselves. As the result, the attitude of immigrants towards themselves changes.

Moreover, their identity is also under the change process. Example of Ukrainian labor migrants in Spain shows that this process has touched them as well. The course of this process and also its impact on the lives of Ukrainians will be illustrated in this article.
