Abstract
An economist and senior economic geographer assess severe, uneven spatial impacts of demilitarization of economic activity in the former USSR. Drawing upon a large body of recent classified, unpublished information, the authors sketch in the geography of a “hidden” sector, consisting of the defense industry and gold and diamond mining. Analysis of the resulting spatial patterns reveals nodes of highly concentrated hidden-sector activity that are vulnerable to economic adversities caused by reduced military orders and severed production linkages. Particular attention is devoted to Russia and Ukraine, two republics inheriting the bulk of the former Union's hidden-sector infrastructure. 1 table, 16 references.
