Declining towns in the former USSR.
"The paper comprises an update of an earlier study...focused on towns with declining population during the 1959-1970 period.  Based on recently published data on individual urban centers with 15,000 or more inhabitants reported in the 1979 and 1989 censuses, it identifies centers where population declined from 1970 to 1989.  The study also assesses selected geographical aspects, economic functions, and size characteristics of such urban centers.  Comparisons with data from the 1959-1970 period are made to arrive at a 30-year perspective."
