Abstract
An American geographer studying population change and urbanization in the former USSR focuses on trends revealed by comparison of the two most recent censuses conducted in Belarus. National and regional total, urban, and rural population change is analyzed for the period 1989-1999, with selected updating to 2001 and 2002. Patterns of fertility, mortality, natural increase, and migration also are addressed where relevant to an understanding of general population trends. Particular effort is devoted to detecting population movements resulting from the Chernobyl' nuclear accident in nearby northern Ukraine in 1986. Journal of Economic Literature, Classification Numbers: J11, O18, R23. 2 figures, 3 tables, 35 references, 2 appendices.
