metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In post-reform Russia, a demographic transition began — a replacement of the traditional
  type of population reproduction with the modern one. A significant part of the population
  had rationalized demographic behavior; demographic indicators had improved; the efficiency
  of population reproduction had increased; intra-family relations had been humanized; and
  individual birth control had been developed — mainly in cities. The demographic transition
  began earlier than is commonly thought — among the townspeople of the Saint Petersburg
  province, where obvious signs of birth control and a decrease in mortality and marriage were
  already revealed in the first half of the 19th century. The province was in the lead because it
  was the most urbanized and one of the most cosmopolitan, and Saint Petersburg was the most
  cosmopolitan city in Russia, which had intensive economic and cultural ties with the West,
  where demographic transition had already begun at the end of the 18th century in France.
  In the second half of the 19th century, it spread among the entire urban population, and at the
  turn of the 19th–20th centuries — among the entire rural population of Russia, but to varying
  degrees in individual provinces. Demographic indicators had improved because of the progress
  of medicine and sanitation, the expansion of free medical care, an increase in the cultural
  level of the population, a change in demographic mentality, and the beginning of birth control,
  as well as due to an increase in the standard of living of the general population.
