European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 4, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Slovaks is. Czechs Are differences insurmountable by Frank Starr the Baltimore Sun Czechoslovakia May be the next Eastern european country after Yugoslavia and the soviet Union to split up Over irreconcilable ethnic differences. Quot by so Many indicators do czechs and slovaks see the world through different  whole poll takers who conducted a recent Survey for the times Mirror co., Quot that they could Well concur that their Dit Serences Are  the two nationalities Are More separate today the pollsters found than before the Quot velvet revolution Quot of 1989. And by margins of 8-to-1 or better czechs and slovaks agree that relations Between them have worsened since then. Quot the stage is set Lor the two nations to separate if the Economy worsens and if the yugoslav states of Slovenia and Czechoslovakia Croatia successfully Point the Way to Independence Quot they wrote. Of the two ethnic groups slovaks consider themselves the More injured party. Many More slovaks than czechs 59 percent to 35 percent disapprove of the current Power sharing arrangement and two out of three slovaks consider it unfair compared with the 52 percent of czechs who Call it fair. But the Survey also found the slovaks the most politically immature the most women prefer socialism by Peter Honey the Baltimore Sun 0 women consistently proved the most politically conservative and change resistant group in every nation in Eastern Europe surveyed in a times Mirror poll. The pollsters noted a Quot profound Quot difference Between men and women on questions of democracy and a free Market Economy especially in the three soviet republics a Russia the Ukraine and the now Independent Lithuania. Quot gender differences go beyond women expressing less approval of these concepts Quot they wrote. Quot women protests consistently less democratic values and appear to have absorbed More socialist thinking than have  the differences exist at All Ages in Rural As Well As Urban areas and at ail Levels of education they noted. All Eastern european countries surveyed showed similar results readers action line moviegoer Longs for Handy schedule fearful of capitalism the most comfortable with socialism and nostalgic for their authoritarian past. They Are also the most prejudiced and anti semitic. A third of slovaks say they done to like jews and 24 percent say they Quot done to  their part of the Republic is the poorest part located in the Eastern half of the country adjacent to the soviet Union and among Eastern europeans slovaks Are the least bitter about their experience under soviet domination by a 2-to-1 margin they reject the idea of revenge Over old injustices while East germans poles czechs and bulgarians Quot want  the researchers speculate that slovak resentment May derive from two sources. Before president Vaclav Havel a czech took office Czechoslovakia was ruled for More than two decades by slovaks and slovaks had More influence in Prague. Secondly under communist Rule the More but on a smaller scale. While 69 percent of russian men questioned before the soviet coup attempt in August said that they favored a multiparty democracy the poll noted that Only 54 percent of the women shared that View. In Russia and the Ukraine gender comparisons were made on numerous issues such As Independence of soviet republics private ownership the right to sell and buy property and incentive is. Fixed pay. In each Case women showed themselves to be More conservative than men. Most Eastern women were less committed to free speech than men and would More readily apply restrictions on political parties. The Survey also found a general tendency for Eastern women to More ardently support social welfare programs especially with state sponsorship than men. The reasons for women s conservatism Are elusive the researchers speculate that it May Rise from the extreme difficulties fourth in series backward Slovakia experienced advances m education Industry and Public health whereas czechs experienced a decline in their More Western Irving standards. While czechs Are Guti Misc today about their personal futures slovaks Are pessimistic and 64 percent believe that their lives have declined drastically As a result of political and economic changes czechs 43 percent see a modest National decline Over the last five years while 68 percent of slovaks see a severe decline. So pessimistic and unhappy seem the slovaks that the poll s advisers speculate that Slovakia might prefer some association with Russia and the Ukraine to continued federation with the czechs. Of women s daily life in the soviet Union or to their role As nurturers in All Eastern european nations and soviet republics women were found to be losing interest m politics faster than men the most striking example of this was m Russia where the researchers said that 60 percent of women As opposed to Only 44 percent of men said they were now less politically motivated than under the old communist system in Moscow where one in three political candidates used to be a woman during communist Rule Only one in six ran in the first free russian elections last year the Survey noted the poll also Drew out an East West Gap on the Issue All the soviet and Eastern european societies polled except Bulgaria Felt that the Ideal marriage was one in which the wife took care of the Home and children while the husband worked this contrasted strongly with the Western european and u s preference for both spouses to work and share responsibilities for the household and children. Quot a wife staying at Home evidently struck Many East europeans As a Welcome Novelty after so Many decades under the communist system the surveyors remarked. Eastern women themselves admit that the past few years have had relatively Little effect on their v  of life. Only 29 percent in Russia and 37 percent Ltd Ukraine said that the changes had improved then out ook of the men 44 percent of russians and 46 percent of ukrainians said that then views had brightened most easterners of both sexes Oen eved that women s social and Legal rights Louic not improve under the new regimes. In fact an  proportion of East germans thought that women would have fewer rights than they had under communism hungarians were the most upbeat about women s prospects in the new democracies.
