It is hoped that this volume will increase the use of Russian and Soviet census materials. Although they are difficult to use, this task has now been rendered easier. The book gives an excellent overview of the possibilities for population research on the Soviet Union. The index and research guide will be valuable for many years to come.(Slavic Review)
