Abstract

S. Maksudov. Internal migrations in the USSR between 1926 and 1939. This article deals with the population migrations that took place between the Soviet European and Asian republics during the years 1926-1939. Our computations were based on materials from the 1926, 1937 and 1939 censuses of the ethnic composition of the population region by region. According to these estimations the migratory balance between Russia and Kazakhstan and Central Asia was negative: -1,490,000; the same is true concerning migrations between Russia and Transcaucasia: -531,000; the balance reached -217,000 for the Ukraine and -57,000 for Bielorussia. Kazakhstan took in 550,000 people, Central Asia, 1,155,000 and Transcaucasia, 590,000. These results seem to be somewhat underestimated because they do not take into account gaps in the 1937 census' population breakdown by nationality and the human losses which occurred after migration. During that time, 590,000 people moved to Russia from the Ukraine and 273,000 from Bielorussia.
