ABSTRACT:
The article is devoted to theoretical and methodological generalization of the phenomenon of dissident movement as a historical prototype of political opposition in the regimes of “real socialism” in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. The author identified key types of nonconformist actions that can shear the political opposition, i.e. resistance, disagreement or dissent and opposition. It was generalized that the discovered and determined sequence of nonconformist actions is described with a common root, i.e. protest. However, it was theoretically and methodologically argued that the logical structure of the triad “resistance – dissent – opposition” have to be determined on the basis of social and political importance of a given scientific construct.
