Administrative-territorial and ethnic map of Russia in the 1920s

The paper deals with the analysis of the demographic development of Russian ethnic groups in the 1920s. The issues of the country’s transition to peaceful life after the end of the Civil War and how this affected population dynamics are considered. In conditions of mitigation of exogenous factors, mortality, including child mortality, has decreased in the country, and life expectancy has increased. The global consequence of positive changes in the 1920s was natural population growth. The author studies the peculiarities of the administrative-territorial division of Russia, which experienced several reforms during these years (“economic zoning”). Characteristics of more than 150 ethnic groups living in the country in the 1920s are given.
