About this book

Taken together, the Russian census of 1897 and the Soviet censuses of 1926, 1959, 1970, and 1979 constitute the largest collection of empirical data available on that country, but until the publication of this book in 1986, the daunting complexity of that material prevented Western scholars from exploiting the censuses fully.

Reviews

It is hoped that this volume will increase the use of Russian and Soviet census materials. Although they are difficult to use, this task has now been rendered easier. The book gives an excellent overview of the possibilities for population research on the Soviet Union. The index and research guide will be valuable for many years to come.
