Soviets have reason to fret over census figures
Henry J. Taylor notes the Soviet Unity census began after delays and may repeat official distortions. He cites demographic imbalances with more women than men, falling birth rates, and vast sparse populations. He contrasts this with the U.S. census, detailing counting costs, manpower, and the challenge of reaching every person, especially in urban blacks and remote regions. He also notes Moscow’s claims of a 241 million population and criticizes inflated rhetoric. The piece ends with Brown saying the U.S. census aims for 97 percent accuracy and that the Kremlin has not sought U.S. advice.
