Soviet Census (1939)
The 1939 Soviet Census (russian: Всесоюзная перепись населения 1939, lit=1939 All-Union Census, translit=Vsesoyuznaya perepis naseleniya 1939), conducted from January 17 to January 26, succeeded the Soviet Census of 1937 that was declared invalid. It happened only two years after the previous census, due to the failure of the last one. Preparation The census took place after the postponement of the 1930 census to first 1945 and then 1937, followed by the failure of that census. In preparation for the 1939 census, a number of decisions were made to avoid ending with the same fate as the census of 1937. Due to the previous census showing believers in religion to form a majority among the population, the question on religion was dropped from the census entirely, and the occupation of priest was changed to "servitor of a cult" in the census forms. Additionally, as many of the people in charge of organizing the previous census had been removed from their po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Soviet Census (1937)
The Soviet Census held on January 6, 1937, was the most controversial of the censuses taken within the Soviet Union. The census results were not published because the census showed much lower population figures than anticipated, especially in Ukraine due to the Holodomor famine, although it still showed a population growth from the last census in 1926, from 147 million to 162 million people in 1937. Delays After the First All-Union Census of the Soviet Union of 1926, the next census was planned to be held in 1933.Ye. M. Andreyev, L. Ye. Darsky, and T. L.

Kazakh Famine Of 1919–1922
The Kazakh famine of 1919–1922, also referred to as the Turkestan famine of 1919–1922, was a period of mass starvation and drought that took place in the Kirghiz ASSR (present-day Kazakhstan) and Turkestan ASSR as a result of the Russian Civil War, in which 400,000 to 750,000 peasants died. The event was part of the greater Russian famine of 1921–22 that affected other parts of the USSR, in which up to 5,000,000 people died in total. Background The famine was caused by severe intermittent drought conditions, aggravated by the Russian Civil War and the policy of Prodrazvyorstka adopted by the Soviet government. Famine By 1919, roughly half of the population was starving. Epidemics of typhus and malaria were also widespread. The greatest percentage of losses of the Kazakh population was in Aktyubinsk, Akmola, Kustanai and Ural provinces. According to the estimates of demographers, about 19% of the population died, which is equivalent to 400,000 people. However, Tu ...

The Kazakh famine of 1930–1933, also known the Goloshchyokin Genocide, or Asharshylyk (Kazakh: Ашаршылық, meaning 'famine' or 'hunger') was a famine during which approximately 1.5 million people died in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic, then part of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic in the Soviet Union, of whom 1.3 million were ethnic Kazakhs. An estimated 38 to 42 percent of all Kazakhs died, the highest percentage of any ethnic group killed by the Soviet famine of 1930–1933. Other research estimates that as many as 2.3 million died. The famine began in winter 1930, a full year before the famine in Ukraine, termed the Holodomor, which was at its worst in the years 1931–1933. The famine made Kazakhs a minority in the Kazakh ASSR; it caused the deaths or migration of large numbers of people, and it was not until the 1990s, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, that the Kazakhs became the largest ethnicity group in Kazakhstan ag ...

Soviet Census (1959)
The Soviet Census conducted in January 1959 was the first post-World War II census held in the Soviet Union. Background For a decade after World War II, there were no new population statistics released by the Soviet Union, and a proposal for a new Soviet census for 1949 was rejected by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. During this time, most Western experts estimated that the population of the Soviet Union was between 215 and 220 million people, but in June 1956 (after Stalin's death), the Soviet government announced that the country's population at that point was only 200,200,000. Results The new census announced the Soviet Union's population to be 208,826,650, an increase of almost forty million from the results of the last (disputed) census from 1939. A majority of this population increase was due to the Soviet territorial expansion of the 1939–1945 time period, rather than due to natural population growth. The deficit of men to women in the total Soviet population massiv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
