As elsewhere in the world, most societal problems in the USSR, including nationalism, have a demographic and geographic dimension. My purpose today is to investigate some of the more prominent changes in the ethnic composition of the USSR that occurred between 1979 and 1989. The effect of changing ethnic composition depends on the geographic scale because overall changes have less effect than regional changes. Thus, I will consider various geographic scales of analysis.
