Sažetak
Post-1989 regime changes in Central and Eastern European communist countries radically altered life conditions and values of their populations. In this paper, I examine value changes and persistence of communist ideologies by looking at the differences in the perceptions of distributive justice among the "transitional" and "communist" cohort. Using data from the 1996 International Social Justice Project, I compare the transitional cohort (born 1969-1977) and the communist cohort (born 1945-1953) in Bulgaria, East Germany, Hungary and Russia. The findings suggest that, unexpectedly, there are no cohort differences in the perceptions of market and statist justice in any country but Russia: the transitional cohort consistently sides with the communist cohort in their justice ideologies. Also, the results support the hypothesis about the distributive justice ideologies reflecting different communist and post-communist paths of these countries. As expected, there is a clustering of Russia vs. Bulgaria vs. East Germany and Hungary, though not in the predicted direction.
