Abstract

The author, perhaps the foremost Soviet historical demographer, analyzes the number, origin, and destination of agricultural migrants to Siberia from 1795 to 1917 on the basis of published revisions and governors' reports, tax registers, and police and church counts in the archives. He finds that Siberia did not surpass New Russia and the North Caucasus as the destination of most migrants until the 1880s, and that the majority of migrants came from central European Russia. (The translation was prepared by James R. Gibson of York University, Toronto from Istoriya SSSR, 1979, No. 3, pp. 22-38).
