title: Differences in language retention between males and females in the USSR, 1970.
abstract: "Among certain ethnic groups in the USSR, males and females have different levels of retention of the native language.  Male and female levels vary inside and outside the home territory depending on the general strength of the language, ethnic rights in the place of residence, and migrant versus non-migrant status.  Additional distinctions correspond to cultural divisions, principally Moslem versus non-Moslem."
