Abstract
Nostalgia for the communist past originates in positive evaluations of communist political and economic systems and in identification with the Soviet Union. It is people's socialization in a particular political culture and identity, rather than their negative feelings toward the current regime and its performance, that explains this phenomenon. The same factors operate in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine, irrespective of country-specific developments.
