This article introduces the contributions in this special issue of the International Journal of Sociology and demonstrates their usefulness for elUCidating a tabula-rasa hypothesis as it applies to public opinion in Eastern Europe. This hypothesis states that an unexpected revolution in communist societies caught people unprepared for a transition to democracy and a free market economy, and that this state of affairs is manifested in weakly interrelated and frailly determined sociopolitical orientations. The mixed results prOVided by the articles contained in this issue call for a reformulation of the tabula-rasa hypothesis. In addition, these articles are used to illustrate problems in detecting sources of intercountry variation, in establishing a functional equivalence of measurement, and in examining the timing of events. Both the substantive and methodological matters are discussed in the context of current research on the transition from a communist system to democracy and a free market economy
