Ukrainian Urban Population of the Russian Empire: Ethnic and Linguistic Transformations in the Late 19th Century

Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue 2

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the ethnic and linguistic composition of Ukrainian urban population of the Russian empire. It deals with the statistical data, including the results of both Imperial census of 1897 and the local censuses, which were held in some Ukrainian towns during the 1870s. This comparison is important for understanding the consequences of the cultural assimilation policy pursued by the Imperial authorities as well as the social and political causes of the urban population structure transformation. The author discusses reasons why the percent of Ukrainians in the total amount of the urban population decreased significantly by the end of the 19th century.
