We address the issue of anomie in the post-Communist area at the example of Ukraine. We use the data of the monitor of the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 1992-2010, where an adjusted version of the anomie scale of McClosky and Schaar (1965) was applied. We carry out a latent class analysis with MPLUS 7 upon the data of 2010 (N=1800). We find and describe three substantial classes – “disoriented pessimists,” “socializedoptimists,” and “socialized realists” – which enable us both to capture the state of the Ukrainian society and to understand the strategies of the individuals’ responses. We conclude that among the group of disoriented individuals, another group is widely spread in the Ukrainian society. These is individuals who agree with the existence of an overall level of disorientation in the society, but in the same time see themselves as highly oriented and aware of the societal norms and values.
