Population and Economics, 2020, vol. 4, issue 3, 98-103 Abstract: The database contains uploading text comments from the social network VKontakte in .csv format (UTF-8 encoding). The comments are collected from communities discussing pregnancy, childhood, motherhood, etc. Uploading contains comments to posts with which the interaction took place. The absolute number of likes was used as a criterion (comments were collected where the number of likes is greater than or equal to 5). Text data was pre-processed (stemmization and lemmatization). The data is suitable for thematic analysis (e.g. LDA – Latent Dirichlet Allocation), for modelling the graph structure of communities (the link_comment variable contains a unique post identifier, link_author contains a unique user identifier), for analysis of tonalities of statements and formation of a dictionary of demographic connotation in Russian. Analysis of the tonalities of statements enables measuring the dynamics of "demographic temperature" in pro-family (pronatalist) communities.
