Summary/Abstract: The process of economic transformation, after the collapse of the USSR, in the former republics, is called, in general “transition”. This change in the economy is perceived as a transformation from “the Centrally Planning Economy” to “the Market Economy”. Also the Kyrgyz Republic, since 1991, for over 20 years, is one of the countries trying to perform this transformation. In this study, perceptions and expectations of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic, with the overall assessment regarding the transition period, was measured, within the framework of “attitudes towards the market economy and private property”, “is there a longing for the old economic model?”, “attitudes towards the democratic and other institutions”, “opinions about the role of the State in the economy and the State intervention”. Results are varying in terms of various demographic groups like age, nationality, education, employment, and so on.
