Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to outline the specific fragments of the linguistic image-concept of Ukraine represented in contemporary Russian media. There is made a study of some semantic groups in the concept structure as well as of their pragmatic, semantic and onomasiological specificity of the ratio of informative, emotive and expressive component of names. Here there are investigated the semantic conversions of units serving to form a complete image-concept of Ukraine and Ukrainian reality in the minds of Russian readers as well as the certain new names which arose as a result of the Euromaidan events. The study is based on the material of the Russian-speaking Internet publications, blogs and forums, representing the Eastern Slavic informational space.
