Today the Post-Soviet states are experiencing a very complex and important period of their political history. The majority of these states are on a certain stage of final transformation: cutting off geopolitical forms of the Soviet period and refocusing on one or another form of regional or global integration. A very similar situation took place in the Central and Eastern Europe at the end of the 20th century. In both cases the impact of foreign actors, primarily the United Europe and the USA, whose policy mainly formed further paradigm of development in these regions, was of paramount importance. Drawing such parallels between the countries of Central and Eastern Europe 25-30 years ago and the Post-Soviet countries today, between Ukraine and Poland as locomotives of the respective regions, a comparative investigation of the American factor in the formation of foreign policy of the two states becomes exceedingly interesting. Also, potential possibilities of implementing the Polish experience in Ukraine are extremely topical on Ukraine’s way toward its new geopolitical identity
