The present paper investigates attitudes and beliefs about social justice in two Eastern European post-socialist countries, Poland and Hungary. A comparison between such countries is especially interesting because it can provide at least a partial answer to the question whether dissatisfaction with the new, democratic-capitalist system (as revealed by previous studies done in Hungary) can be attributed to the stresses and strains associated with systemic change in Eastern Europe. Results show a general similarity between responses obtained in the two countries. The cross-cultural applicability of Likert-scales measuring system justification and justice beliefs is also considered
