description The paper considers the possibility of alternative Europe integration development, such as the idea of the United Statelets of Europe, represented in the Eurotopia project. It focuses on the main stages of its implementation, development and origins. The latter includes the theory of size proposed by Austrian philosopher Leopold Kohr. This theory is based on the necessity of breakdowns of large national states and formation of statelets, such as Bohemia, Moravia, Bourgogne and others. Special attention is given to 1) the choice of people to represent the theory in public, e. g. such major European industrialists as Fritz Thyssen and Alfred Heineken, and 2) accurate selection of a moment suitable for this, for instance, 1941 and 1992. The paper features future possibilities for the theory of size and the Eurotopia project as a new concept of European integration development, as well as options for creating a suitable conjuncture.
