Summary/Abstract: Low trust to politicians, political and public institutions in Ukraine is a widely discussed problem. Basing on comparative data that came from Hungary, Poland and Russia, the author explores the reasons of cross-national similarities and differences in the level of trust. Results show that low trust to some institutions (like Parliament) and high trust to others (like Church and Army) is rather a common feature of post-communist countries that can be taken either as a proof of cultural as well as institutional theory of trust.
