The "stranger-other" opposition has performed and still performs various functions - from consolidation of society in the fight against a common enemy to the division of the state into two hostile camps. The concept of "stranger" in the practice of identification turns out to be very relational and situational. The boundaries that distinguish "our own" from "strangers" are fluid, they change from era to era, depend on a mass of circumstances and conditions, and are modified under the influence of real communication with the "other". At the decline of Napoleon's empire, there were many different dissatisfied with his regime in France. In the face of the Allied invasion of France, there was a transformation of "one's own" into "strangers" and of "strangers" into "one's own." The notions of "friends" and "enemies" became very relative under the conditions of military occupation, as evidenced by the self-presentation of the French royalists of that time as "patriots" of France. Everything was mixed up in France in the winter of 1814: both "their own" and "strangers", "royalist-collaborationists" and "robber-cossacks".
