Abstract

The total population of the Union republics is analyzed based on three tabulations of the 1926 population census, conducted in 1927–1928, 1937, and 1939. Through a comparative analysis of the results of the population censuses of 1937 and 1939, it is concluded that the redistribution of the total population among the republics did not seek to eliminate shortcomings in the conduct of the 1926 census since in all these tabulations the main indicator of the total population of the Soviet Union remained unchanged and amounted to 147 027 915 people. Most likely, the aim of this redistribution was to disguise the consequences of the demographic catastrophe associated with the famine of the early 1930s, especially in relation to Kazakhstan. In this context, this article also provides data on the population dynamics of the Central Asian republics from 1926 to 1939, obtained from three tabulations of the 1926 census. The results of these tabulations showed similar trends. It is concluded that the results of the first, earlier tabulations of the 1926 census materials are the least susceptible to distortion and can be used in scientific analysis. Another conclusion is that subsequent changes made to the 1926 census were intended to hide the consequences of the demographic catastrophe in the Soviet Union that had occurred as a result of the famine of the early 1930s. These changes were carried out by manipulating the redistribution of various categories of the population in the Union republics. In the Kyrgyz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Kyrgyz ASSR), the number of Kazakhs increased by 1749 people.

在 1937 年和 1939 年人口普查背景下的 1926 年人口普查结果列表:必要还是故意歪曲?
摘要 根据 1926 年人口普查的三份表格(1927-1928 年、1937 年和 1939 年),对加盟共和国的总人口进行了分析。通过对 1937 年和 1939 年人口普查结果的比较分析,得出的结论是,在各共和国之间重新分配总人口并不是为了消除 1926 年人口普查中的缺陷,因为在所有这些表格中,苏联总人口的主要指标保持不变,仍为 147 027 915 人。这种重新分配的目的很可能是为了掩盖与 1930 年代初饥荒相关的人口灾难的后果,尤其是与哈萨克斯坦相关的后果。在此背景下,本文还提供了 1926 年至 1939 年中亚各共和国人口动态的数据,这些数据来自 1926 年人口普查的三次列表。这些表格的结果显示出相似的趋势。得出的结论是,1926 年人口普查材料的第一次,即较早的制表结果最不易失真,可用于科学分析。另一个结论是,后来对 1926 年人口普查所做的改动是为了掩盖 1930 年代初饥荒给苏联造成的人口灾难的后果。这些改动是通过操纵加盟共和国各类人口的重新分布来实现的。在吉尔吉斯苏维埃社会主义自治共和国,哈萨克人的数量增加了 1749 人。
