Generational conflicts occur in any society and prove to be both a
puzzle and a rite of passage for every generation. Older
generations often find it difficult to relate to the younger
generations. Yet, as every generation comes of age, it leaves an
impact on societal structures as a whole. Between baby boomers and
millennials, societal norms and values transform in new and
unexpected ways. While globalization has greatly contributed to the
generational gaps world over, the post-communist transition, which
occurred in the wake of the collapse of the USSR, left lasting and
profound effects on these transitioning societies. This book
investigates the generational conflict in the post-Soviet societies
and argues that the generational divide runs deep. The post-Soviet
generation, Generation WhY, has not dealt with the experience of
old Soviet structures and they do not share the same values and
norms as their parents and grandparents. Individualism, lack of
trust in state institutions, independence, and entrepreneurial
spirit run high among the members of the perestroika generation.
Yet we still find differences between societies. While the
Russian-Ukrainian conflict has its roots in a number of deeply
seeded issues, this analysis shows that the generational gap is a
part of the problem. This book also offers conclusive evidence to
suggest that the members of the post-Soviet generation can be part
of the solution.
