The comparative analysis in the form of case-by-case and point-by-point methods dominates in the research. The work tries to answer two basic questions: "Why had the post-Socialist countries in transition face a serious output decrease and, generally, an economic recession?" and "Why the developments were divergent throughout the region?" The existence of output recession is proved with the help of several economic indicators, such as evolution of GDP, inflation rate, registered unemployment rate, Human Development Index, composition of GDP by sector, but also G1NI coefficient and poverty ratio, etc. Initial conditions index, Transition progress indicator, Liberalization index, Index of institutional quality, etc. support the second part of the thesis. In search for reasons...
