This book takes stock of arguments about the historical legacies of
communism that have become common within the study of Russia and
East Europe more than two decades after communism's demise and
elaborates an empirical approach to the study of historical
legacies revolving around relationships and mechanisms rather than
correlation and outward similarities. Eleven essays by a
distinguished group of scholars assess whether post-communist
developments in specific areas continue to be shaped by the
experience of communism or, alternatively, by fundamental
divergences produced before or after communism. Chapters deal with
the variable impact of the communist experience on post-communist
societies in such areas as regime trajectories and democratic
political values; patterns of regional and sectoral economic
development; property ownership within the energy sector; the
functioning of the executive branch of government, the police, and
courts; the relationship of religion to the state; government
language policies; and informal relationships and practices.
