Abstract
IN EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND ESPECIALLY IN THE FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS CONTAINED THE JOY OF INDEPENDENCE, THE TASK OF BUILDING A STATE FOR A TIME OBSCURED THE CRISIS OF LEGITIMACY . IN THIS PAPER WE MAKE A PRESENTATION OF THE REASONS THAT INSTEAD OF CREATING A STABILITY GENERATED DISTURBANCE AMONG THE STATES FRESH OUT OF COMMUNISM. BESIDES POST-COMMUNIST DISORDER, WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT DEMOCRACY WAS POORLY UNDERSTOOD AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS BELIEVED THAT ONCE THE COMMUNIST PARTY WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE SCENE, DEMOCRAC Y AND MARKET ECONOMY WILL ESTABLISH NATURALLY, BUT OMITTED TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT LEGACY OF THE SOVIET TOTALITARIAN REGIME . IN THIS PAPER WE WANT TO ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS PUT OVER TIME AND WHICH IT IS ABOUT WITH THE REASONS OF DEMOCRATIZATION FROM CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE BUT ALSO TO PRESENT, BRIEFLY, THE TRAJECTORY OF STATES IN THE EARLY YEARS OF FREEDOM.
