Specifically socialist policies do not adequately explain the decline in German ethnicity, which is more fully accounted for - as is the contrasting Hungarian example - by (1) the groups' historical positions, which influenced their present situations and self-conceptions, and (2) an international context that differentially affects the form and reproduction of their identities, [ethnicity, Eastern Europe, social structure, history, social change
