Abstract
Across Europe there is a plurality of competing visions on what Europe means, each appealing to identity and bringing along potential (geo)political implications. Identification with such visions are particularly worth investigating along the EU external boundary, some sections of which divide ethno-linguistic and religious communities. This paper is based on interviews with 23 elites in the Ukrainian–Hungarian borderland conducted some weeks before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainian responses were marked by an overridingly positive view on Europe, while those of the Hungarians on both sides of the border were overall clearly more skeptical, with attitudes strongly overlapping with current hegemonic discourses on the EU in Hungary. The paper points to the salience of ethnic identities and the resonance of narratives in Budapest and Kyiv among these borderland communities. It also draws out tensions between the benefits of EU membership and a Hungarian national identity increasingly framed in opposition to the Union.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
