The book aims to reveal the contradictory impact of urbanization and migration on the family behavior of women from families who moved to the city after World War II (primarily from the 1950s to the mid-1980s), whose lasting consequences underlie the demographic crises currently unfolding in our country. The study is interdisciplinary—it combines historiographical, demographic-sociological, and cultural approaches with analytical tools from other humanities and social sciences. The monograph is addressed both to academic circles—specialists in the fields of demography, sociology, and history—and to a wider readership interested in the uniqueness of this historical period.
