"Demographic Review"
Demographic Review" is a scientific peer-reviewed open-accessed journal, published quarterly in Russian and once a year in English. We consider the establishment of our journal an important event in the life of our professional community, as well as of the entire community of social scientists. The thematic research range is quite broad: demographic processes themselves and the bordering interaction areas of demography and other branches of social knowledge (economic, social, medical, historical, mathematical demography, population geography, etc.).We expect to see the papers of researchers from different Russian and foreign scientific centers on the pages of the "Demographic Review". We want to make a good journal and this can only be done together.We also hope to find an interested reader who cares about the demographic problems of the country and the world. We hope, dear readers, for your response and fruitful dialogue with you.
