SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE CONCERNING THE SOVIET POPULATION STRUCTURE OF 1939.

This article concerns the population structure of the Soviet Union in 1939. In a research paper entitled "A New Look at the Soviet Population Structure of 1939," the author and late professor of sociology Eugene M. Kulischer had presented a series of computations showing in broad groupings the 1939 age-sex composition of the Soviet Union's total, urban and rural population. Later in 1956, a sociology journal "Vestnik Statistiki" made public in the Soviet Union, certain data from the 1939 census with some refinements, due to the inclusion of data pertaining to the North and some insignificant corrections resulting from the final census totals. The revised statistics included a slightly higher total population and urban population, a corrected age distribution for the total population and adjustments of previous data which indicated the percentages of persons literate by broad age and sex groupings. Using these materials it is now possible to make the same type of computations as presented earlier by professor Kulischer.
