Abstract

Communist ideology in the Soviet Union initially sought to weaken the family and strengthen the role of the state. But did it achieve this aim? Drawing on new research, Joan Costa-Font and Anna Nicińska find that in contrast to expectations, exposure to communism appears to have strengthened preferences for family support for both children and parents.
