Popis:	The author questions the objectivity of geographic maps arguing that they are social constructions. The peculiarities of cartographic materials and their influence on the political process fall under the scope of the article. The author looks at the ways politicians use maps for personal and professional gain and presents, as a result, the features of the geographic maps capable of forming socially significant narratives and the classification of the ends and means of the politicized construction and popularization of maps performed by politicians.
