It has long been assumed that the historical legacy of Soviet Communism would have
an important effect on post-communist states. However, prior research has focused
primarily on the institutional legacy of communism. "Communism's Shadow" instead turns
the focus to the individuals who inhabit post-communist countries, presenting a rigorous
assessment of the legacy of communism on political attitudes. Post-communist citizens
hold political, economic, and social opinions that consistently differ from individuals
in other countries. Grigore Pop-Eleches and Joshua Tucker introduce two distinct frameworks
to explain these differences, the first of which focuses on the effects of living
in a post-communist country, and the second on living through communism. Drawing on
large-scale research encompassing post-communist states and other countries around
the globe, the authors demonstrate that living through communism has a clear, consistent
influence on why citizens in post-communist countries are, on average, less supportive
of democracy and markets and more supportive of state-provided social welfare. The
longer citizens have lived through communism, especially as adults, the greater their
support for beliefs associated with communist ideology--the one exception being opinions
regarding gender equality
