In the Croatian and Polish public sphere the post-communist discourses play an important role. Since most of the post-communist elite accepted a negative attitude towards the communist past, they were also forced to find a way to create a set of communicative and rhetoric tools which might justify their activity before the fall of the iron curtain. The different social and political circumstances in Croatia and in Poland evoked different linguistic and discursive models, including the category of person. Since the writer addresses his texts to diverse types of recipients (those who both positively and negatively evaluate communism), the category of person is used very inconsistently. A specific combination of it makes both discourses more persuasive.
