Emergent Nationality Problems in the USSR.

Abstract

An analysis of emergent ethnodemographic and ethnopolitical trends in the USSR and a discussion of their economic, military, and political implications for the Soviet regime and for the West. There is a large disparity between the population growth rates of the country's 'European' (Slavic and Baltic) nationalities, which are low and have steadily fallen, and the growth rates of its 'non-European' (Caucasian and Central Asian) nationalities, which are extremely high. As a consequence, by the end of the century, between 20 and 25 percent of its teenagers and young adults will be 'non-Europeans,' of whom the vast majority will be Muslim Central Asians. (Author)
