Abstract: Abstract Prior to the 1917 revolution, the Russian empire reached its maximum size, covering approximately one-sixth of the earth’s surface. According to the first comprehensive population census of 1897, its total population stood at 126.4 million inhabitants.1 During the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, Russia experienced a rapid population growth: in the period 1860–1910, the population more than doubled, implying an average annual growth rate of 1.6 per cent.2
