title: Geographical characteristics of migration linkages in the Moscow capital region.
abstract: "A study of migration processes in the Moscow Capital Region over the period 1970-1985 begins by assessing their contribution to overall population growth within the region vis-a-vis natural increase and territorial and administrative changes.  Attention then is turned toward movements both within the Moscow Capital Region and between it and other oblasts of the European RSFSR.  Although the overall volume of migration within the Moscow capital Region and between it and remaining oblasts of the European RSFSR declined, the relative popularity of the former as a destination among migrants in European Russia remained unchanged."
