The neglect of lawyer ethics in legal education, including in continuing legal education for lawyers and judges, is an enduring Soviet legacy in post-Soviet countries. Partially because of this neglect, many people in post-soviet countries do not trust lawyers. Their mistrust often is for good reason-too many lawyers are unethical. Yet, unethical lawyers do more than alienate others and cast the legal profession in disrepute. Unethical lawyers waste resources by unnecessarily prolonging disputes and inflaming antagonisms by provoking unjustifiable confrontations. Worse, they corrupt the legal system by bribing judges, suborning perjury, and using other illegal means to achieve their ends. Thus, they contribute to an all-too-common failure in post-Soviet countries-the failure to achieve the rule of law. The academic literature is replete with commentary about the place of ethics in legal education. Some argue that ethics instruction is unnecessary. They claim that allusions to ethics in other courses, the law school culture, and the ethics learned earlier in life is sufficient. Others posit that ethics are too important to omit from the law school curriculum. They often add, however, that legal ethics instruction in law school commonly involves little more than demanding that law students memorize rules or codes of conduct. This article discusses whether the ethics education of future lawyers in post-Soviet countries is adequate. Concluding that it is not, this article proposes suggestions for the content of an Eastern European legal ethics course and methods for teaching law students to internalize ethical norms as a part of their legal education.

The article inquiries into the influence of age on the adaptation to changes among post-Soviet societies. The analysis of secondary data from survey research conducted in representative research samples in post-soviet republics was used in the research. Survey data from Russia (N=992), Belarus (N=1034), Moldova (N=970) and Ukraine (N=1000) was analyzed. The results show that the age facilitates positive adaptation. Younger generations had a higher level of happiness, evaluated their financial situation, their standing in the social hierarchy and prospects for the future better. The highest level of satisfaction with democracy was noted in Belarus and Russia. Lower marks were given by the citizens of Moldova, whereas the biggest disappointment was noticed in Ukraine. The Russians and the Belarusians followed by the Moldovans were located on high positions on the continuum of adaptation to social changes, but the Ukrainians managed to adapt to the system to the lowest degree.

Целью статьи было исследование влияния возрастного фактора представителей постсоветских стран на приспособление к социальным изменениям. В статье пред¬ставлены результаты опроса, который проводился на репрезентативных выборках в бывших советских республиках. Анализ ответов респондентов из России (N=992), Беларуси (N=1034), Молдавии (N=970) и Украины (N=1000) показал, что возраст респондента способствует позитивной адаптации. Так, представители младшего поколения имели высший уровень счастья, лучше оценивали финансовую ситуацию и позицию в социальной иерархии, а также лучше оценивали свое будущее. Наи¬высший уровень удовлетворения демократией зафиксирован в Беларуси и в России, более низкий у жителей Молдавии, и наибольшее разочарование было на Украине. Исследование показало, что лучше всего с приспособлением к общественным изменениям справлялись россияне, потом белорусы, дальше молдаване и хуже всего украинцы.
