Abstract

The purpose of the article is to demonstrate open and hidden forms of external influence on Ukraine's domestic policy on the example of regional claims for self-determination. The major problem is that the Russian language issue, difficulties in boundary delimitation and the lack of information strategy in Ukraine's foreign policy resulted in an explicit and implicit influence on the political situation in Ukraine in 1994 - 2004. The analysis of the problem covers the times of L. Kuchma's presidency and has been undertaken on the basis of materials of the Ukrainian press of that time. The content analysis helped to track the reflection of Ukrainian society at the challenges of that time and discover the technologies of influence.
