Summary/Abstract: The established stereotypes of interpretation of the political process are about to lose validity after facing what happened in Eastern Europe during the last for years. Applied to this development, they give bizarre results. For the old Marxist, dogmatic Eastern Europe is obviously "moving to the right", if not suffering "counter-revolution". But how, in that case, could recent events mobilize such a mass of people, including those of underprivileged social strata? From the same dogmatic position, the rejection of "central planning" and introduction of "market economy" would mean rejection of "socialism" and "classless society".
