title: Economic region net migration patterns in the USSR:  1979-89.
abstract: "This article investigates economic region net migration patterns in the USSR during the 1979-89 intercensal period.  Net in-migration and net migration rate increases (compared to 1970-79) occurred in both the western and eastern portions of the Northern USSR region, while net out-migration and rate declines occurred throughout the Southern USSR.  Net in-migration again occurred to Siberia, especially Tyumen' Oblast, and there was a reduced rate of net out-migration from the Nonchernozem Zone and Central Chernozem Region of European RSFSR."
