Remus Ștefureac discusses the INSCOP survey on Romanians' nostalgia for communism, highlighting the economic and social factors that contribute to this perception

INSCOP Director Remus Ștefureac discusses a survey that highlights Romanians' nostalgia for the communist period. This nostalgia is influenced by the personal experiences of those who lived in that era, but also by economic and social factors such as poverty and migration. Also, the lack of a culture of knowledge about communist crimes and the myths of "communist heaven" contribute to this perception. The recent crises, including the pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, amplify people's grievances and anxieties.
