title: Changes of ethnic composition in the Baltic States.
abstract: "The aim of this article is to analyze changes in the ethnic structure in the Baltics.  The publication of the results of the 1989 Census data allows one to analyze the dynamics of ethnic structure in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania since the 1920s."  The author notes that "as a result of significant changes in all demographic processes in the 90s, the proportion of the titular nationalities in all three Baltic States has increased for the first time, while the proportion of Slavs, particularly of Russians, decreased."
