The idea of the European integration in the Ukrainian society is becoming of domestic relevance and is forming as a means of a political struggle, and accoroding to A. Umland , it is profaned by politicians.The European integration issue is observed through the Europe image which is exposed to either extreme idealization or extreme aspersion and becomes the motto of the political battles.Theme trends of the EU Integration policy are formed by the politicians of the opposing camps. In the worst-case scenario, the idea of the EU Integration policy is a complete tool of the electoral battles, and media holdings use both positive and negative myths and concepts regarding the European elections according to the political image which is created for a certain political force.Thereby, one can hardly agree with that public opinion about the lack of information on the Euroatlantic integration of Ukraine.
