Abstract

The growth of economic and social inequality, which is observed nowadays in equal measure in both post-Soviet and states with developed market economies and liberal democracy, is connected to a paradoxical political situation. The priority in the political agenda is the fight against "existential inequality" (G. Therborn), while economic inequality is increasingly perceived as one of the greatest threats to modern societies and the global world as a whole. In this the paper, the "Gimpelson-Treisman hypothesis", which concerns the discrepancy between actual and perceived inequalities, Ukrainian society as an example is analyzed.

In this the paper, the "Gimpelson-Treisman hypothesis", which concerns the discrepancy between actual and perceived inequalities, Ukrainian society as an example is analyzed. It is demonstrated that an improved hypothesis allows us to propose an explanation of this paradox based on Ukrainian society, namely, why in a situation of growing social inequality we are not witnessing a "left" political turn, but rather a "right-wing populist" one.

Abstract in Russian
Аннотация. Рост социального неравенства, который наблюдается в
наши дни в равной мере как в постсоветских странах, так и в странах
либеральной демократии и развитой рыночной экономикой, связан с
парадоксальной политической ситуацией. Приоритетной в
политической повестке дня выступает борьба с «экзистенциальным
неравенством» (Й. Терборн), при этом именно экономическое
неравенство все больше воспринимается как одна из величайших угроз
современным обществам и глобальному миру в целом. В работе на
примере украинского общества анализируется «гипотеза Гимпельсона—
Трейсмана» о несовпадении фактического и воспринимаемого
неравенств. Демонстрируется, что доработка этой... (More)

примере украинского общества анализируется «гипотеза Гимпельсона—
Трейсмана» о несовпадении фактического и воспринимаемого
неравенств. Демонстрируется, что доработка этой гипотезы
позволяет предложить на ее основе объяснение указанного парадокса, а
именно того, почему в ситуации роста социального неравенства мы
является свидетелями не «левого», а «право-популисткого»
политического поворота.
Ключевые слова: неравенство, постсоветские страны, Украина,
либерализм, демократия.
