Topic HISTORICAL DEMOGRAPHY IN REGIONAL DEMENSION
Summary The article presents an analysis of modern historiography of the demographic history of the USSR in the 1930s focusing on important issues of historical demography. The authors made references to the key discussions around the issues of credibility of the Soviet population statistics, the factors and the scale of the demographic crisis and the early 1930s catastrophic situation and population losses. It was demonstrated that approaches to the study of demographic history changed from the logical in the context of condemnation of the Stalinist regime of the late 1980s — early 1990s focus on assessment of the “Stalinist victims” and the analysis of the demographic shock of the 1930s to implementation of attempts at wider historical generalizations. A commonly accepted approach in the Russian historical demography is the theory of demographic transition. The researchers identify the signs and directions of the demographic transformation during the 1930s.
Keywords historical demography, historiography, demographic history, demographic crisis, a demographic catastrophe, demographic modernization, demographic transition
