metadata.value: Demographic processes on the territory of the Don Host Oblast (until 1870 — Land) have
  been studied since the beginning of the 19th century. Therefore, in modern national historiography
  this topic is considered well researched, and scholars usually do not address it purposely,
  providing results obtained by pre-revolutionary authors. However, a deeper exploration
  of the situation reveals that pre-revolutionary authors pointed out serious inaccuracy of
  the Don statistics. In this paper, for the first time in historiography, it is shown that as far as in
  the 1860s a prominent statistician N. I. Krasnov highlighted the anomality of the Don statistics
  and suggested it should be verified via comparison with the experience of world statistical
  science. But the majority of authors of the second half of the 19th century asserted that the
  experience of world statistics was inapplicable to The Don Host believing that the regional
  statistics had to reflect and describe the data but not to analyse it. The paper also shows that
  due to such an approach the study of the Don demography of the second half of the 19th century
  has been brought by to a dead end. National historians rely on initially inaccurate data,
  moreover, its verification by traditional historical methods is impossible. However, the French
  mathematician N. Bonneuil with the help of the Russian demographer E. V. Fursa developed
  a mathematical-statistical model to reconstruct demographic processes in the period in question.
  The article concludes that from a historical point of view this method is also sufficiently
  reliable, and its application by historians will allow the latter to significantly clarify the features
  of demography of the pre-revolutionary period.
