Summary/Abstract: Rejection of the idea of the United Europe promoted by the European Union is the most common ideological pillar of the entire European extreme right movements. It does not mean, however, that these movements reject the pan-European cooperation since the extreme right groups are highly connected and cooperate on various international levels. In consequence, through the multilateral transfers of ideas, political programs, visions, and attitudes they create specific ideological offers and solutions. The main aim of this article is to reconstruct the image of the Europe and the European Union in the communication of the Polish extreme right. On the basis of the publications excerpted from the unofficially printed zines from 1990. and selected online publications published on the Polish extreme right websites within the period 2000–2010 the author tries to discover what kind of image of Europe and the EU predominates in communication of the extreme right, and what kind of alternatives for the idea of the United Europe have been promoted by the nationalist movements. The author uses methods and techniques of the corpus linguistics and refers to the constructivist theories of communication and the concept of the linguistic image of the world.
