The analysis of an international data of several post-socialist countries set reveals that attitudes towards social inequalities, especially economic ones, and towards the role of the state at regulating them are complex, contradictory and state specific. The data in some respects corroborate a claim about the prevalence of egalitarianism, statism and suspicion to¬wards the merit-based distributive justice in post-socialist societies, but at the same time they indicate that inequality related attitudes cannot be described in such simple terms.
