Communist Nostalgia and its Consequences in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine

Stephen White

Chapter 2 in The Transformation of State Socialism, 2007, pp 35-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract ‘Communism — world tour, 1917–1989’, declared the T-shirts. It was a judgement that reflected the dramatic changes that had just taken place in central and eastern Europe as long-established communist systems gave way to coalitions or in some cases to regimes that were headed by political dissidents like Vaclav Havel, a prisoner earlier the same year, or the Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki, a prisoner in the early 1980s. By 1991 communist rule had ended in the USSR itself, and the union had dissolved into its 15 constituent republics. All, apparently, had changed, and changed utterly.
