title: Demographic characteristics of settlement and a demogeographic regionalization of the USSR.
abstract: "An approach to the delimitation of demogeographic regions in the USSR is proposed and a network of 27 regions is developed and mapped."  Geographical differences in population reproduction, structure, and migration at various territorial levels are examined.  Data are provided on changes in urban population between 1959 and 1979; total, urban, and rural population growth during that period; total and rural population density in 1979; and rates of natural increase as of 1960, 1965, 1970, and 1974.
