“…Thus, in the Database of Indicators for Municipalities, information about the number of people who arrived and departed and the migration increase is only given in the context of urban-and rural settlements for 2014 on [5]. Statistics on population migration at the regional level is no less dubious: after each population census, the net migration indicators were recalculated post facto, which introduced significant changes in earlier published data [14,15].…”

Socioeconomic development in cities and towns is a complex and multifactor phenomenon with various dimensions and evaluation criteria. One of the simplest and most available indicators of a situation in the economic and social sphere is population size dynamics. Using the towns of Leningrad oblast as an example, we analyzed how the 2014-2016 crisis events in the Russian economy affected the population dynamics. Starting from the 1980s, the towns of Leningrad oblast have been developing multidirectionally-in some towns, the population has decreased consistently, while in other towns it has increased; some towns have exhibited stagnation. These differences have been preserved so far, but the rate of increase and decrease in the population, largely driven by migration processes, vary significantly depending on changes in the country's economy. As a result of the study, we found that the switch in the trend of demographic development amid rapid changes in the rate of economic increase is not peculiar to all towns. We studied different scenarios of the population dynamics in the towns of Leningrad oblast during 2011-2017, and we managed to distinguish several types of urban-type settlements. Based on an analysis of territorial features of the locations of towns, we have proposed an explanation for the differences in their persistence to crisis events in the Russian economy.

“…In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), and Moldova, this reduction was accounted for by return migration after the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the USSR. Serbs were returning to Serbia, Russians and 'Russian-speaking' individuals to Russia [24]. In Poland, an almost twofold reduction in the number of Ukrainian, Lithuanian, and Belarusian-born residents in 1990-2015 is explained by the natural change in population -the post-war generation (1944-1957) of immigrants from Lithuania, Western Belarus, and Western Ukraine was dying of old age 6 .…”
