title: A sociodemographic typology of middle-level regions in the USSR.
abstract: "Oblast-level regions of the USSR are grouped and mapped in nine types and a number of subtypes to reflect a combination of demographic factors:  level of urbanization, urban and rural population growth, and population density.  The typology can be used to devise sets of spatially differentiated measures to carry out a demographic policy and to regulate the sociodemographic evolution of regions."
