Summary/Abstract: The main task of this article is the conceptualization of post-communism as a reflexive exploration of the features of ideological discourses. The article also seeks to offer the new definition of ideology as the most common form of the political. Post-communism is shown to be a complex process that fits uneasily into pre-given categories. Post-communism is the hybrid condition of decolonization, modernization and post-modernization. The article insists on the importance of discourses of ideological representations of reality in defining post-communism. The article also argues that the articulation of relationship between post-communism and post-colonialism offers a better understanding of the ambiguous condition of post-communism.
