Why was the collapse of the Eastern Bloc experienced as a shock that destabilised their identities and political allegiances then?

This study endeavours to answer both questions, focusing on generational networks rather than individuals and investigating political academic journals after 1989 to paint the picture of a Left deeply troubled by the triumph of a capitalism unfettered by any counter-force.
