The political image of a state is an opinion of it on the basis of an idea generated in imagination, purposely formed through professional efforts with an internal or external audience. It is absolutely obvious that any country is interested in both internal and external positive image.
If you put “political image of Ukraine” into a Google search, the truth about what U.S. society and foreign mass media in general think about it immediately reveals. In the recommended searches we see “Why Ukraine is not safe?”, “Why Ukraine is a bad place to live?” and “Corruption in Ukraine”. A positive image of the state in the eyes of its citizens can be a powerful factor in consolidating the nation, strengthening the identity of the people, providing support for internal and foreign policies, as well as one of the conditions of social security. But do the government pay enough attention to this? What do Ukrainians think about it?
