The paper highlights the main problems and aspects of ethnology, anthropology, the theory of interethnic relations in Russia and the CIS using the materials presented by the researchers and practitioners of the Astrakhan region. The regional specific features and conditions impact the theory of ethnos and ethnicity, the doctrine of tradition, the concept of identity. A new (since 2015) global discussion on “multiculturalism” and “interculturalism”, “ethnospecificity” and “interethnicity”), as well as the provision on “ethnonics” as “applied ethnology” are added to the list. There have been analyzed the latest works, in which the uncoordinated actions, shortcomings in the conceptual apparatus and haste of conclusions are stated. The development of ethnic issues in the region has entered a new stage. A new level of research support will be required by involving both heterogeneous sources and young researchers of different nationalities. Today the Astrakhan scholars need to declare themselves more actively at the all-Russian level revealing the peculiarities of their native region and the experience of practical work on its territory. It has been stated that the all-Russian population census of 2021 will play a significant role after processing and publishing the results about Astrakhan.

According to the Law of the Russian Federation “On the All-Russian Population Census” (2002) a household is considered as a group of people living in a dwelling house, apartment or room, or part of a dwelling house or apartment that jointly provides itself with the necessary means of subsistence and which unites all or part of its income, or a person residing in a residential building, an apartment or a room, or a part of an apartment house or apartment and independently providing itself with the necessary means of subsistence.According to the calculations of 2009, based on Rosstat’s forecast, the number of households in Russia was to make up from 52.5 million by the low estimate to 58.9 million by the high estimate in 2030. Like any forecast, these estimates require regular revision, refinement due to the appearance of new data.Based on the current trends in the development of households in the world and in Russia, the article attempts to provide updated estimates of changes in the number and structure of Russian households at the end of 2030.

The present research is performed based on the method of source analysis with the objective to study a cultural and historical heritage of the manor at the end of the XIX century. In the Latvian State Historical Archives documents (questionnaires of the All-Russian population census in 1897) contain information about manor and buildings which were once purchased by M. Reut. Objective historical sources have found references to the families of the Bufališki (Geļenova) and fon Reut family at the end of the 19th century. Therefore, the name of the Gelenova Park can be justified. The population census records are useful for family research.

This article integrates studies relating to the history of urban communities of Siberian and Far Eastern indigenous peoples. A multidisciplinary approach to urbanization processes is used; their stages, rates, causes, and principal characteristics are analyzed. The database consists of our own fi eld fi ndings, published results of sociological studies, and those of All-Union and All-Russian population censuses. Three stages of urbanization affecting indigenous Siberians are described, and their factors and mechanisms are evaluated. The process is characterized by intense migration of indigenous peoples to the towns and cities during the recent period, accompanied by large-scale industrial development, and the transition of aboriginal societies from the traditional to the modern lifestyle. The urbanization, however, has not been completed, because of the underdeveloped urban infrastructure and the fact that many indigenous peoples to the cities had retained their rural traditions. The sa lient characteristic of the urbanization of indigenous peoples in the macroregion is that it was asynchronous, and that its sh ort intense phase, whereby the indigenous peoples mostly moved to nearby towns and urbanized villages in the 1960s–1970s, did not extend to all indigenous communities. Urbanization was incomplete in terms of both quality and quantity, and the integration of indigenous peoples into the urban space has engendered serious problems. According to the All-Russian population census of 2010, only fi ve indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Far East had completed the urbanization process: Kereks, Mansi, Nivkhs, Uilta and Shors. Currently, most indigenous peoples are medium-urbanized. The lowest level of urbanization is among the Soyots, Siberian Tatars, Telengits, Tofalars, Tubalars, Chelkans, Chulyms, and Tozhu Tuvans. We conclude that urbanization among the indigenous peoples is a long, diffi cult, and contradictory process, which, in modern Siberia, triggers many ethnocultural and ethno-social transformations of regional multiethnic communities.

Research in the field of fertility often focuses on peculiarities of reproductive behaviour of various groups of population different in socio-economic status, material and moral needs and reproductive attitudes. Comprehension of these features is important when shaping a pro-birth policy, since different groups of the population may respond differently to the proposed measures. In the article women entrepreneurs are presented as one of the groups of the Russian population with specific reproductive behaviour. The features of demographic profile and reproductive behaviour are analyzed on the basis of results of the All-Russian population census of 2002 and 2010 and a sample survey of the population reproductive plans of 2017.

On the eve of the All-Russian Population Census 2020, the article analyzes the experience of organizing and conducting outreach to the population during the preparation of the All-Russian Population Census 2010. The information work of the modern census should be carried out on a highly professional basis with the involvement of specialists in the field of communication and using modern information technologies. An information campaign, which includes informing the population of the country about the census, forming a positive attitude towards the census among the population, encouraging participation in it and providing information about oneself, is one of the main areas of preparation for the census. Historians and researchers note that the lack of public awareness of the purpose of the census and the lack of explanatory work on the meaning, objectives and goals of the census negatively affect the attitude and results of the census. The authors analyze the experience of information work on the census of Udmurtia in the period from 2008 to 2010. Materials of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Udmurt Republic were used as the main source.
