In terms of the political socialization process in the communist countries, the persistence of youth and student attitudes other than those of the "young enthusiasts" in the first group mentioned above can be considered a setback to the regime. This forthright recognition by the Yugoslavs of the fact that the majority of their students do not measure up to the "ideal" is in itself a commentary on the changing nature of the Yugoslav regime...
