Based on a population survey from the summer of 2022, the paper draws an ambivalent picture. First, it highlights the exceptional momentum and mobilising power of civil solidarity both in terms of practical involvement and expressed attitudes. At the same time, the results also reveal the limits and vulnerabilities of civil solidarity—namely, its exposure to populist political discourses which cherish or condemn moral economies of assistance according to vested interests, as well as its embeddedness in a neoliberal reliance on citizens’ individual resources (disposable time and material means), and the salient inequalities in sharing the burdens of humanitarian support. All this reflects that the consensus and relative evenness of solidarity attitudes at the time of our survey were unevenly translated into practical help, burdening those already heavily charged with care responsibilities. With this finding, we underline the importance of exploring solidarity as a complex relationship of attitudes and practices; also, we highlight the need to include the perspectives of care in inquiries of the population’s attitude towards immigrant groups and categories. Our results are drawn from the application of multi-dimensional logistic regression models based on data from a statistical survey involving 1000 respondents representative of Hungary’s adult population.

To date, European countries responded in a supportive way to the arrival of displaced people from Ukraine, mobilising wide-ranging legal and infrastructural frameworks. This relatively unanimous solidarity sharply contrasts with the ambivalent attitudes towards people from Africa and the Middle East arriving to Europe during the 2015 ‘refugee crisis’. Our research explores the civic and voluntary engagements helping Ukrainian displaced people in Hungary and aims to understand civilian expressions of solidarity by comparing and historically contextualising it with processes implied by ‘the long summer of migration’ of 2015. With this research we aim to contribute to the study of actors or ‘makers’ of solidarity in the current civic mobilisation: the socio-demographic and socioeconomic positions of helpers as well as their attitudes to various displaced groups. Differential degrees of vulnerability and the capacities to preserve dignified human life, as two poles of the human condition, tailor propositions, visions, and justifications on deservingness. The research, based on a survey on a representative population sample of 1000 adults in Hungary conducted in June 2022, inquired on voluntary and paid forms of assistance, views on what those displaced by the war may need and deserve, and the motivations for providing assistance. Our results show an ambivalent picture: it undergirds empirically the exceptional momentum and mobilising power of civil solidarity in Hungary in the context of the war in Ukraine, both in terms of practical assistance and on the level of attitudes. On the other hand, it reveals severe vulnerabilities of civic engagement, which show continuities rather than contrasts vis-à-vis civic solidarities in 2015: the limitations of personal individual resources (e.g. the lack of regular support, at least at the time of data collection), the inequalities in sharing the burdens of humanitarian support (e.g. differences in the scale of paid and unpaid involvement, the severe overload of different caring sectors and women).
