"[An] immensely ambitious, careful, and data-rich study. . . .
Those trying to pin down with greater precision the legacy of
communism now have a model to emulate."---Robert Legvold, Foreign
Affairs
"In this immensely ambitious, careful, and data-rich study,
Pop-Eleches and Tucker do not merely explore the historical legacy
of communism in eastern Europe; they also tackle the far more
difficult problem of distinguishing its impact from that of other
factors."
*Foreign Affairs*
"This book should be widely read by those interested in
post-communist politics and societies, but it should also find a
broader audience, as it sets a high standard in how to do research
with public opinion datasets and wrestle with questions of the
legacy effects of prior political systems."---Paul Kubicek, Slavic
Review
