Three types of birthrates in the USSR:  stages of demographic transition.
"Regional differences in birthrate indicators, which are primarily associated with different stages of the demographic transition, are examined in three typical USSR republics:  post-transitional (Estonia), transitional (Azerbaijan), and pre-transitional (Tajikistan).  Demographic transition theory in the explanation and forecasting of birthrate trends is discussed.  It is concluded that the experience of the USSR supports the universal nature of this theory."
