Summary/Abstract: The object of the paper is the analysis of value orientations of the participants of the Protest against Dictatorship – activism, democratic orientation, authoritarianism, egalitarianism, economic liberalism/redistributive etatism and (post) materialism. The main assumption of our analysis is that acceptance of common values is the precondition for constitution of social movement. Namely, if actors share the same values, and by continuous action tend to achieve goals which arise from common value patterns, we can speak of the existence of social movement. Our analysis is based on the data gathered through empirical research of the participants of the Protest against Dictatorship, which was conducted by the Institute for Sociological Research of the Faculty of Philosophy on the sample of 175 respondents, in the period from April 13 to May 4 2017 year.
