Summary | The article makes an attempt for the first time on the basis of existing publications and new archival documents to generalize and analyze the dynamics of the number and sources of population formation in the Komi Republic from 1926 to 1940. The main criterion for the distribution of material in the study are the materials of the All-Union population censuses of 1926, 1937, 1939. The main difficulty lay in the numerous discrepancies in the final documents of censuses and demographic statistics of this period, in the fragmented and incomplete information on penicidal groups of the population (prisoners and special settlers). Demographic material is considered in the context of political and socio-economic events, as a direct result and an illustration of state policy. The authors come to the conclusion that the socio-economic and political transformations that took place in the USSR in the second half of the 1920s–1930s affected the Komi territory to the greatest extent and entailed profound changes in the demographic sphere. In a relatively short chronological period, a new system of population formation has developed in the republic, with the external migration increase taking the lead. In the areas of industrial and transport construction that have begun, large masses of the able-bodied population were sent, including forcibly. Under the influence of external migration, the population growth rate has significantly increased, both in urban and rural areas, and serious changes have occurred in its location and resettlement. | ||
