title: Population trends of Soviet cities, 1970-84.
abstract: This article contains a time series for the population of cities of the Soviet Union for the period 1970-1984.  The data are from the Soviet censuses of 1970 and 1979 and from official estimates for 1974 and 1984.  The article is designed as a continuation of an earlier time series developed by Chauncy D. Harris for the period 1897-1967.  "The updated material consists of a series of tables following the patterns of the earlier material, a methodological explanation, and a discussion of significant trends in the population size of Soviet cities."
