Polls show high nostalgia for the communist era, but is this the full picture? In this video, I break down whether the narrative that Eastern Europeans are "nostalgic for communism" is true or a myth, what communist nostalgia polls are really about, and why older populations from Russia and Yugoslavia are nostalgic for the communist period. I also go over how the particularities of post-communist transitions affect the varying levels of nostalgia across Eastern European countries, including Warsaw Pact/Soviet-aligned countries such as Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and former East Germany.
