Anderson, Barbara A., Kalev Katus, and Brian D. Silver. 1993. "Developments and Prospects for Population Statistics in Countries of the Former Soviet Union." PSC Research Report No. 93-296. November 1993.
This paper examines recent developments and prospects for population statistics in the former Soviet Union. The dissolution of the Soviet Union provides both opportunities and problems. It is important for scholars to be aware of the problems and limitations of Soviet data in the past. Most of these problems remain. The formation of independent states has not led to a population more ready to answer questions fully, nor have bureaucratic impediments to the production of high quality data disappeared. Temporarily, at least, there is a decrease in the amount and comparability of the information available, and, in some instances, in the quality of that information. However, a shift to the use of standard international definitions could lead to more useful data becoming available in the future.
