This book offers a comparative analysis of value and identity changes in
several post-Soviet countries. In light of the tremendous economic,
social and political changes in former communist states, the authors
compare the values, attitudes and identities of different generations
and cultural groups. Based on extensive empirical data, using
quantitative and qualitative methods to study complex social identities,
this book examines how intergenerational value and identity changes are
linked to socio-economic and political development. Topics include the
rise of nationalist sentiments, identity formation of ethnic and
religious groups and minorities, youth identity formation and
intergenerational value conflicts.
