Here is a lot of surveys, to help understand what East Europe is doing now. Major Surveys from Pew. Also did this Major survey in 1991. So compare East Europe in 1991 to 2009
Also is a comparison with the same survey done in 1991, after fall of Soviet Union. So it is interesting trneds you will notice in people's satisfaction of life, satisfaction with almost 20 years of democracy and capitalism. Now Capitalism is generally viewed favorably, but support for Democracy has been slidding, a return to more natural authoritarianism for East Europe?
Nationalism continues to rise despite what they say are the root causes of nationalism, poor economic conditions. The new East European nationalists richer and is more of them.
Hungary is most interesting, since it is most dissatisfied with everything, life, EU, and democracy are all very very low, satisfaction of Life is at 15%
And Support for Eu is at 20%, a drop from 28%.
The trends reporting such huge drops for support of democracy and capitalism is not so surprising though
Neither is that people are becoming more and more satisfied with life, but less and less with capitalism and democracy.
Ukrainians have an overwhelmingly positive view of Russians living in their country (84%), but many fewer like Georgians (54%). A significant number of Russians (32%) have an unfavorable view of Ukrainians residing in Russia, but even more give Georgians a negative rating (53%).
Dislike of minority groups is not limited to Eastern Europeans. Roughly a quarter of the French have an unfavorable opinion of North Africans, which is comparable to negative opinions of Muslims in Britain (27%) and Turks in Germany (30%). In the West, Italians hold the most negative views toward minority groups – 69% say they dislike Muslims and 84% have negative views of the Roma. Negative views toward these two groups run high in Spain as well – 46% have an unfavorable opinion of Muslims and 45% say this about Roma.
