Reviews / Votes
"Demography of Russia: From the Past to the Present, is a highly significant resource for any scholar concerned with understanding Russian society. It addresses a most timely set of issues-the complex and often tragic population dynamics in the country, including historical developments of fertility, mortality, and migration trends. Furthermore, it analyzes a range of data and methodological approaches. This book is a wonderful contribution." (Michele Rivkin-Fish, Professor at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA; Author of Women's Health in Post-Soviet Russia (2005))
"Russia is an extremely interesting country from a demographic point of view. With its complex history and geo-political standing, understanding the demography and population dynamics of this country is of utmost relevance. This volume not only gives a rigorous overview of the demographic history of the country, but also an up-to-date picture of recent demographic trends through the extensive usage of archive-materials and micro-data analysis. It is the obvious reference for those interested in learning about the demography of Russia." (Arnstein Aassve, Professor of Demography, Department of Policy Analysis and Public Management, Bocconi University, Italy)
"This book examines the dynamics and forces underlying the natural population decline in Russia. Using data from a variety of sources, the authors integrate insights from demography, economics and sociology to provide a comprehensive analysis of the unique Russian demographic experience through the eras of the late Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the modern Russian Federation. Everyone who wants to understand demographic change in Russia should read this book." (Arne L. Kalleberg, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US)
