Russia Empire’s dominate the country in the territory of the population to get the list as the logical continuation of the measures the government turns a few years of each people to get the list events. It should be noted that in the period from the end of the XIX century to the 40s of the XX century in the conditions of the two political regimes, based on their current ideology, a wide range of literature was covered mainly one-sidedly. In Central Asia, the Russian Empire and later the Soviet government sought to justify the policy pursued by this measure. 1926 Census why the event was conducted and the objective of social, economic, political causes and the Soviet government authority dukes books not only the number of the population of the USSR, but also in other national workers working in all areas of the national economy of the Republic of autonomy and social structure of Statistics it was important to know how. 1926 event in previous years, the population of the event warns to know which aspects of the difference was important. Previous net result compared to the population on true information you want to be able to surface, as well as the new national pre-planning a series of objectives, such as the economy of the Republic of origin. The process of complicating the ethnic composition of the local population, which began with the invasion of Turkestan by the Russian Empire, and the growth of the population, mainly at the expense of the nomadic population, continued in the years following our study. The event, scheduled to take place in 1926 in the national population and the changes in the structure of summarizing them, as well as a new historical stage of planning "socialist construction" in which the Soviet government for living in all regions of the population on the enlightenments necessary.

It was the event of 1926 organizational plan in advance and in connection with the registration of all the important issues discussed, the registration program, the final decision made in [2.4]. Special preparations were made for the 1926 census, which differed in the accuracy of the data on the censuses conducted in 1897, 1917 and 1920, as well as in the fact that it covered all regions of the Uzbek SSR compared to previous years. In 1926, the party and government leaders of the Soviet government decided to hold a census of the All-Union population [3.11]. Initially, 5 types of registration are planned for this year's event: 1). Demographics; 2). The rural economy; 3). Industry; 4). Commerce; 5). Cooperative. But this event is also a separate demographic registration conducted by the [4.113]. August 17, 1926, the Soviet of People's Commissars this scheduled event on the decision reads as follows: "In particular, this year's census event only demographic confined registration, at the same time, stimulated by the Central Statistical Bureau in the statistics," [5.7].

The decision to distant parts of the Soviet Union at the end of the settings and hard to reach area are for special terms and determine the methods of registration of the population were [7.11]. So far, the measures in this direction is almost in the minds of the population thought that the previous years (1897, 1917, 1920, 1920) as the event held in this event, and the house-to-house registration Accountant strong avenge, there was no fear. 1926 population census, the population prepared for the event personal display and the questions included in the Central Statistical Bureau on July 1, 1925 № 104 the number of newsletters published [8.20]. About 10,000 large leaflets in Uzbek and Russian were prepared for the 1926 event [9.5]. Most of them were sent to the districts, counties, and large villages of the provinces for proclamation. Propaganda for the event, scheduled for December 1926, officially began on September 18, 1926 and lasted until December 31 of this year [10.12]. 1926 census to see the preparation of Defense 's demographic statistics department at the head of V.G.

The order of preparation in the center was as follows: the department within the Central Statistical Bureau developed a question on the registration form and submitted it to the registration commission, after which all issues were submitted to the Central Statistical Bureau college for approval [11 .19]. On the basis of the approved questions, the program of events of 1926 was developed and sent to the regional departments of the Central Statistical Bureau in all regions of the USSR. Soviet Republics registration documents - personal, family cards, leaflets and cottages on the statements of two languages in the set: In particular, the Russian and in the local language [12.6]. On the basis of the program, which was scheduled for December this year and approved by the Soviet government, propaganda and explanatory work was carried out in all regions. By this time, the population was almost aware of the measures taken in this direction. In general, the year 1926, this event among local people against the religious events a little more popular, has become a usual character already. The event was attended by representatives of other professions statistics calculated by adding the total of 1 420 people were involved[13, 2].

    SCTIW Review Journal of the Society for Contemporary Thought and the Islamicate World ISSN: 2374-9288 February 21, 2017 David Brophy, Uyghur Nation: Reform and Revolution on the Russia-China Frontier, Harvard University Press, 2016, 386 pp., $39.95 US (hbk), ISBN 9780674660373. Since the 1980s, Western scholarship on modern Chinese history has moved away from the narrative of a tradition-bound Middle Kingdom reacting to the dynamism of Japan and the West. A “China-centered” view of modern Chinese history has by now become standard, much to the benefit of historical research.1 In more recent years, Anglophone scholarship on Central Asia has increasingly assumed a comparable orientation, combining indigenous and imperial sources to recenter modern Central Asian history around Central Asian actors. David Brophy’s Uyghur Nation: Reform and Revolution on the Russia-China Frontier, the culmination of a decade of research, represents a major advance in this regard. In a wide- ranging study, Brophy carefully reconstructs the interplay of local elites, intellectuals, community, and state from which the contemporary Uyghur nation emerged: a Uyghur- centered view of modern Uyghur history.2 On the basis of extensive archival, published, and manuscript sources, Brophy has written the fullest and most convincing account to date of the twentieth-century development of the Uyghur national concept. Synthesizing intellectual and political history, he puts persuasively to rest the frequent assertion that modern Uyghur identity was imposed from above by Soviet bureaucrats and passively adopted by its designated subjects. Brophy demonstrates that the Uyghur national idea, and the bureaucratic reification of that idea, emerged from complex negotiations between proto-Uyghur elites and intellectuals, ethnographers of various backgrounds, and Soviet officials on the local and national level.

  • Welfare Reforms in Post-Soviet States: a Comparison
    WELFARE REFORMS IN POST-SOVIET STATES: A COMPARISON OF SOCIAL BENEFITS REFORM IN RUSSIA AND KAZAKHSTAN by ELENA MALTSEVA A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Elena Maltseva (2012) Welfare Reforms in Post-Soviet States: A Comparison of Social Benefits Reform in Russia and Kazakhstan Elena Maltseva Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto (2012) Abstract: Concerned with the question of why governments display varying degrees of success in implementing social reforms, (judged by their ability to arrive at coherent policy outcomes), my dissertation aims to identify the most important factors responsible for the stagnation of social benefits reform in Russia, as opposed to its successful implementation in Kazakhstan. Given their comparable Soviet political and economic characteristics in the immediate aftermath of Communism’s disintegration, why did the implementation of social benefits reform succeed in Kazakhstan, but largely fail in Russia? I argue that although several political and institutional factors did, to a certain degree, influence the course of social benefits reform in these two countries, their success or failure was ultimately determined by the capacity of key state actors to frame the problem and form an effective policy coalition that could further the reform agenda despite various political and institutional obstacles and socioeconomic challenges. In the case of Kazakhstan, the successful implementation of the social benefits reform was a result of a bold and skillful endeavour by Kazakhstani authorities, who used the existing conditions to justify the reform initiative and achieve the reform’s original objectives.

    1 8 Famine losses in Ukraine in 1932 2 3 to 1933 within the context of the 4 Soviet Union 5 6 7 Omelian Rudnytskyi, Nataliia Levchuk, 8 Oleh Wolowyna and Pavlo Shevchuk 9 10 11 12 Introduction 13 14 Although the 1932/1933 famine in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) 15 was one of the largest European catastrophes of the twentieth century, its magni- 16 tude is still not widely known.1 For many years, the Soviet government tried to 17 minimise its scope and blame it on natural causes. The famine’s occurrence and its 18 man- made nature are now generally accepted facts. However, one issue still in 19 dispute is the level of population losses due to the famine experienced in different 20 regions of the Soviet Union. This is especially the case for Ukraine, where estim- 21 ates of excess famine deaths vary between 2.6 and 5.0 million.2 To illustrate the 22 difficulty of the task, the estimates of one researcher, Maksudov, have varied from 23 one attempt to the next: 4.4 million and then 3.6 million.3 24 One reason for these variations is the earlier limited access to relevant data, 25 forcing researchers to use methods based on assumptions that were difficult to 26 verify. Initial estimates were based on general demographic indicators and 27 historical documents, as well as on the demographic balance method.4 Once data 28 from the 1926, 1937 and 1939 Soviet censuses and the time series of vital statis- 29 tics and migration data became fully accessible, researchers were able to apply 30 the more effective population reconstruction method that allows for estimating 31 direct (excess deaths), indirect (lost births) and migration losses by year, sex and 32 age.

  • A History of Russian and Soviet Censuses
    Chapter 3 A History of Russian and Soviet Censuses LEE SCHWARTZ Many of the problems associated with the use of Russian and Soviet census data, as described in later chapters in this volume, derive from the historical and political context in which the different enumerations were conducted and the state of the art of census-taking at those times. Although the earlier enumerations were less technically sophisticated and less accurate than more recent ones, the availability of published figures has been increasingly curtailed in those censuses taken just before and after World War II. The following chronological review of census-taking procedures in Russia and the USSR addresses issues such as the organization of the census-taking apparatus; the conducting of individual censuses; the completeness of the count; and some of the methodologi­ cal, statistical , and political difficulties involved in presenting the results. Analysis of results, instructions to census takers , definitional issues, and questionnaire comparisons will be dealt with here in an overall sense; the individual chapters that follow discuss these topics in more detail as they relate to the utilization of various categories of census data. In addition to works cited in this chapter, the reader may want to consult the excellent bibliographies in Lorimer (1946) and Dubester (1969). Prerevolutionary Population Counts Historical Background The earliest censuses, in Russia and throughout Europe, were conducted by feudal principalities primarily to determine the population eligible for taxation or military service and, therefore , typically left out women and children. Population counts were taken for taxation purposes in the lands of Novgorod and Kievan Rus as far back as the eighth century.

    Ethnicity, Religion and Demographic Change in Russia: Russians, Tatars and Jews by Mark Tolts [Published in: Evolution or Revolution in European Population (European Population Conference, Milano 1995), Vol. 2. Milan: EAPS and IUSSP, 1996, pp. 165-179] 1. Introduction The Russian Federation is a multiethnic country. However, during many years Russia proper was only part of an even more variegated state — first the Tsarist Empire, and then the Soviet Union, which was dissolved in 1991. Therefore demographic transition was in the past studied mostly in the framework of the USSR and ethnic factors were discussed for this larger unit as a whole. This article is the first to compare ethnicity, religion and demographic change among Russians, Tatars and Jews in Russia alone. These three groups were chosen specifically because they represent distinctive religions, as well as greatly differing ethnic backgrounds and cultures. The Russians are a Slavic people whose traditional religion is Russian Orthodox Christianity. They were for many years the dominant ethnic group of the Tsarist Empire and the Soviet Union, and now form The research for this paper was funded in part by the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture.

  • Chapter Three 'Nationalising' Policies in Post-Soviet Kazakhstan
    Chapter Three ‘Nationalising’ Policies in Post-Soviet Kazakhstan Nation-building processes in the post-Soviet space are strongly influenced by the duality of the state structure of the Soviet Union, accurately termed by Smith (1998: 4), ‘federal colonialism’ that contained elements of both federal and colonial systems.1 The imperial characteristics of the Soviet Union meant that the ruling elites of the non-Russian republics sought legitimacy for independence in de-colonisation and national self-determination. Thus, the new, titular-dominated leadership that emerged as dominant actors with the collapse of the Soviet Union struggled to redress Soviet and Russian legacies by upgrading the cultural, linguistic, demographic, and political status of their ethnicity, which, in the eyes of their co-ethnics, had been unjustly lowered during the years of Soviet domination. It was necessary, as in all post-colonial states in the twentieth century, to overcome ‘the legacies of empire, establishing state sovereignty in the name of the nation, and preventing a return descent from citizen to subject’ (Beissinger 1995: 172-173). For the political elites, ‘nationalisation’ was a means by which to distance themselves from the previous regime, to legitimise their own rule, and also to gain control of a fragile newly independent state. The officially declared Soviet notion of the ‘union of sovereign states,’ however, was not a complete fiction. It was under Soviet ethno-federalism that titular nationalities were provided with republics, defined as ethnic homelands, in which their languages and cultures were promoted and national elites nurtured. 1 For debates on whether the Soviet Union was an empire, what characteristics the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union had as compared to other empires, and the implications of the Soviet experience for understandings of imperialism and coloniality, see, for example, Beissinger (1995), Suny (1995), and Lieven (1995).
