要約:The article presents an attempt to perform a theoretical analysis regarding the use of political myths in election campaigns. The authors proved that the distinctive characteristics of a political myth include a teleological concept, certain political aims, full mythmakers’ awareness and dynamism.

The authors concluded that the main goal of political myths in election campaigns is to bring political confrontation towards a sensual and emotional rather than a rational level, which is equally stimulated by all kinds of myths: central, main, personal, etc.
