Аннотация

The article reveals the specifics of “demographic compensation” of the population of the South of the
Krasnoyarsk region in the late 1940s-1950s after the devastating consequences of the Great Patriotic war based on
archival material and statistics. The influence of demographic factors on the population's recovery processes was
revealed such as changes in gender and age structure, birth rate, mortality, and marriage. The influence of the socioeconomic situation in the country on the natural movement is shown. The specifics of reproduction of the region's
population among citizens and villagers, various ethnic communities are considered.
The use of general scientific and demographic research methods, the regulations of the general theory of
population, the concept of “human potential” allowed us to conclude that there is a tendency to overcome the
“demographic hole” which was caused by human losses in wartime. The population of the South of the Krasnoyarsk
territory has returned to the expanded historical type of reproduction.
The practical significance of the results and conclusions of the study eliminates the gaps in the territorial and
problem aspects in the historiography of the topic of “demographic compensation” of the Siberian population. The
obtained materials can become the basis for studying the local history of the population of other Siberian regions.
