Summary/Abstract: The article explores the changing attitudes of Ukrainian citizens to European integration during the presidency of Viktor Yushchenko, and sheds new light on the age, regional, linguistic and other factors that correlate with the citizens’ attitudes to foreign policy directions. It proves that party politics and political demonstration affect public opinion. The author emphasizes the fact that most of the citizens do not have access to objective information about European and Euro-Atlantic structures which emphasizes the fact that information policy in this case is insufficient.
