Human Rights and How they are Applied in Post-Soviet Societies

Vladimir L

The paper describes importance and necessity of human rights institutions for any democratic society, particularly for countries with young democratic traditions like Post-Soviet states. After collapse of USSR leaders focused efforts on development of liberal values in former Soviet Republics but unfortunately even today sixteen years later the result is still far away from desirable. In Post-Soviet states Human Rights are applied in a very weak manner and this fact pushes the states back and calls existence of democracy there into doubt. What kind of violations happen and how they are connected with Soviet Propaganda and regime that existed from 1922 to 1991?
