Internal migration in Russia during the economic transition
Post-Soviet Geography and Economics
|February 1, 1997
Summary
Russian migration patterns shifted significantly following the Soviet Union's dissolution. Key trends include the return of ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, alongside internal migration from the North.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Sociology
- Economics
Background:
- Post-Soviet transition in Russia.
- Economic reforms and their impact on population distribution.
- Analysis of migration patterns during a period of significant geopolitical change.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze migration patterns in Russia from the late Soviet era through the early independence period.
- To assess the impact of migration on regional population dynamics.
- To provide a basis for future population projections.
Main Methods:
- Demographic analysis of migration data.
- Examination of two primary migration streams: return migration and internal North-South migration.
- Statistical assessment of population changes in Russian regions.
Main Results:
- Significant return migration of Russians and Russian speakers to Russia.
- Substantial out-migration from Russia's northern regions to western and southern areas.
- Observed impacts on regional population distribution and composition.
Conclusions:
- Migration patterns significantly reshaped Russia's regional demographics post-Soviet Union.
- Understanding these trends is crucial for accurate population projections.
- Policy implications for regional development and population management.

01:56Gastrulation
Gastrulation establishes the three primary tissues of an embryo: the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This developmental process relies on a series of intricate cellular movements, which in humans transforms a flat, “bilaminar disc” composed of two cell sheets into a three-tiered structure. In the resulting embryo, the endoderm serves as the bottom layer, and stacked directly above it is the intermediate mesoderm, and then the uppermost ectoderm. Respectively, these tissue strata will form...
00:53Migration
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
01:52Regression Toward the Mean
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when researchers try to extrapolate results...
01:45Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...
01:27Post-translational Translocation of Proteins to the RER
A sizable fraction of proteins destined for ER are first synthesized in the cell cytosol and then transported across the ER membrane–a process called post-translational translocation. Similar to cotranslationally translocated proteins, these proteins also use the Sec translocon complex to enter the ER lumen.
Targeting proteins to the ER
Hsp40 and Hsp70 chaperone molecules bind the translated proteins in the cytosol to prevent their folding. The chaperone binding helps to keep the signal...

01:11Introduction to R
R is a powerful software environment for statistical computing and graphics. Originating as an implementation of the S language, developed at Bell Laboratories, R has evolved into a robust, open-source statistical software favored by statisticians and data scientists worldwide. Its comprehensive suite includes data manipulation, calculation, and graphical display capabilities, making it versatile for data analysis and visualization. Its programming language is at the core of R's functionality,...
