The pattern of middle class in former socialist countries is set bt two elements: one, a general element of the modern society linked by the profesionalization of work; second-the nature of changes in the ownership right rules, the adaptation of the market economy and the development of entrepreneurship. Definition of middle class, arguments for existence, structure and perspectives.
