“…Decades of conjunction with established democracies support citizens having ambitions well suited to the context of post-communist transformation to make up for the delay of decades gripping the jaws of communism (Soaita & Wind, 2020). Conversion between publicly-and privateowned assets shapes people's minds, behaviours, and objectives (Huber & Montag, 2020). Researchers explored the quality of social capital among post-communist societiesincluding Poland (Dolšak, 2019;Markowska-Przybyła, 2020;Nicoara, 2018;Soaita & Wind, 2020).…”

The digitalisation of the aesthetic experience affects the level of artistry and creativity transfer by the artwork and the quality of participation in the arts. Due to cultural differences between Poles other countries' citizens in perception qualities, this study assesses the effect of the participation form (in-real or digital) in the aesthetic situation by receivers on artistry and creativity potential. The quality of participation in five arts types (musical, performing, literary, audio-visual, visual) was assessed using ten criteria. Data analysis, based on a worldwide sample (38 countries, n = 221). The participation form in arts determines participation quality in the aesthetic situation differently by Polish and non-Polish receivers. Furthermore, there are noteworthy cultural variances among Polish and non-Polish art receivers of particular types of arts and particular forms of participation in arts. The study outcomes may interest: art creators looking for the optimal way of delivering artworks among receivers from Poland and other countries; art managers and marketers for deeper understanding of Polish art receivers' viewpoints and their preferences about participation in arts in-real or digitally; art receivers to compare their judgement about the participation ways in arts with the preferences of Polish art receivers. The first attempt in the literature assessing the quality of the participation in the aesthetic situation regarding the form of participation between Polish and non-Polish societies.

Objective: Post-communist countries, affected by decades of one of the most repressive political systems, are perceived as a particular area of gaps in social capital. These gaps influence the whole spectrum of behaviors of individuals, groups, and society. Countries that changed their political system start a journey of external (economic, social) and internal (personal, interpersonal, group) changes. The post-communist burden determines human behavior, so leaders and managers should pay attention to these consequences. The research deals with the differences in perception of creative identities (a creator, artist, manager, entrepreneur, and leader) by Polish society compared to other countries without communist history. Methodology: Quantitative research (n = 160) in the form of a survey among people from Poland and other countries. Verification of hypotheses by chisquare test of independence used (SPSS, MS Excel). Next, a qualitative analysis of discrepancies was undertaken (NVivo). Findings: There are no statistical differences in the perception of creative identities of a creator, artist, manager, entrepreneur, and leader between citizens of Poland and citizens of other countries. The additional qualitative analysis exposed that differences in perception of the creative identities between investigated societies might have necessary consequences while managing or leading groups (and organizations) dominated by creative individuals. These differences are shown in detail, and links between our research results and the literature are built. Value Added: It looks like a post-communist burden in current Poland has a minimal impact on the perception of creative individuals. Thus, it can be said that communism disappears from the social capital during one generation (ca. 30 years). Recommendations: Further research exploring the perception of creative identities by different analogical groups of compared societies would be valuable.

“…Yet, despite the positive signs of recovery of post-communist societies, participation in both electoral and non-electoral realms still remains relatively low in most CEE countries as noted in various recent studies (e.g. Kostelka, 2014;Huber and Montag, 2020;Hooghe and Quintelier, 2014;Bäck and Christensen, 2016;Vráblíková, 2013;Karp and Milazzo, 2015). Why, after thirty years of political freedom, would that be the case?…”

Examining political participation in Lithuania: The direct and mediated effects of social trust

This article investigates the effects of social trust, both direct and mediated – via internal and external efficacy – on different forms of political participation in post-communist Lithuania. The relationship between social trust and participation features prominently in the social capital and civic culture literature, but little empirical evidence exists that supports it, especially in post-communist democracies. We use the Lithuanian National Elections Study 2012 to test our hypotheses and replicate our analysis with the European Social Survey waves of 2014 and 2016. Our results show that social trust increases turnout, because it is related to a sense of external efficacy, which in turn enhances the likelihood that people vote. There is, however, no association between social trust and being involved in other institutionalised politics, namely, working for a political party. Interestingly, we find a positive indirect effect for non-institutionalised political participation: social trust increases external efficacy, which in turn enhances protest behaviour. Overall, however, social trust does not lead to more protesting, because the former is at the same time positively related to political trust, which seems to decrease, rather than increase non-institutionalised participation. In sum, our findings demonstrate that explanations for political participation based on the core element of social capital – social trust – work out differently for different forms of political participation.
