4 The shortage of population in the USSR as a result of the policy of the Five Year Plans (forced collectivization of agriculture, dekulakization, famine, etc.) has been estimated by different authors at approximately 8 to 12 million persons.The publication of only the most general summaries of the census of January 17, 1939, helped the regime conceal the details of this catastrophe. As is known, the results of the census of December 17, 1926 were published in 56 volumes.
