SPATIAL ECONOMY AND DEMOGRAPHICS

USSR Population USSR Population (Lost 15 mil to civil war/Stalin and 14 mil to WWII; Male shortage one reason for women in both workforce & home) Population would have been 440 million in 1991 without wars Despite Annexations!

“State Socialism” Central planning of “Command Economy” Guaranteed job, low rents, health care, daycare, etc. Heavy industrialization to catch up to West Forced collectivization of private farmlands

Ukraine (Donbass) Urals Siberia (Kuzbass) Industrial regions Ukraine (Donbass) Urals Siberia (Kuzbass) Mutually dependent/ not self-sufficient

Donbass & Kuzbass Donbass coal fields, E. Ukraine/ Russia bank of Don. Coal/steel region since 1870s Kuzbass coal fields, W. Siberia

Russian urban population Soviets favored large industry over farms & cities –Moscow 30% industrial; Paris only 5% Urbanization but without urban services/transit/life Prefab worker apartment blocs / housing shortages

Russian urban population Russian urban population Overwhelmingly in largest cities

Russian migration Soviet controls over movement, travel Encouraged moves to big cities, labor shortage areas, frontier zones Skilled Russians move to other republics, frontier 3 mil. Russians moved back to Russia, 1990s

Soviet rural economy At first divided aristocrats’/ church estates for peasants Stalin forced collectivization of private farms Consolidated farmland into Kolkhoz (Cooperative Farm) and Sovkhoz (State Farm), like large estates Same in E. Europe 1950s (except Poland, Yugo.)

Drawbacks of Soviet agriculture Stalin murdered Kulaks (well-off peasants), 1930s Peasants had low status, little incentive Command agriculture irrational, favored larger towns; Ended up importing food by 1980s

Gorbachev’s rural changes Broke state land monopoly, allowed private leases and withdrawals from state farms Sell the land? Losing Mir (rural commune) tradition Fears of food insecurity, new rural elite, lack of training

Results of rural changes Millions of private farms (esp. in south) But state farms/coops keep 75% of land, with more democracy, shareholding, efficiency Interdependence of old state farms, new private Some old estates revived in E. Europe; and some corporate agribusiness

“Shock therapy” Close command industries Reduce or end subsidies Pass burden to renters Privatize industrial economy; benefit new entrepeneurs High unemployment, inflation, inequality

Hub regions - Government/transportation centers. High-tech industries - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Nizhny Novgorod, Urals Gateway regions - Outward looking/ trade-oriented - Vladivostok, Murmansk, Kaliningrad Winning regions

Command military-industrial / coal regions State agricultural regions Remote natural resource (non-oil) Ethnic minority regions in conflict Losing regions Losing regions Huge gaps in prices, income, roads
