Summary/Abstract: In the article author deals with ideological background of two transition strategies under the influence of three grand ideologies: liberalism, conservativism, marxism. Two prevailing strategies of shock therapy and gradualism are revisaged with reference to the geopolitical context shaped after the fall of communism and vividly marked with conflict of liberalism and conservativism during the last 15 years in East Europe. Neoliberal strategy of shock therapy provides renewal of the conditions that this very strategy tries to avoid, namely condition of rise of socialism and conservativism. On the other hand, occurances in East Europe in the same period, marked with failures in efforts to establish free market, privatization and free flow of capital in economy, are unfolding in well known logic of confrontation of grand ideologies.
