Massive increase in injury deaths of undetermined intent in ex-USSR Baltic and Slavic countries: Hidden suicides?
Aims: Observed changes in subcategories of injury death were used to test the hypothesis that a sizeable proportion of \"injury deaths of undetermined intent\" (Y10-Y34 in ICD 10) in the Baltic and Slavic countries after the USSR dissolved in 1991 were hidden suicides. Methods: Using male age-adjusted suicide rates for two distinctly different periods, 1981-90 and 1992-20053 changes, ratios and correlations were calculated. The data were compared with the EU average. Results: After the USSR broke up, the obligation to make a definitive diagnosis became less strict. A massive increase in \"injury deaths of undetermined intent\" resulted. The mean rate for the second period reached 52.8 per 100,000 males in Russia (the highest rate) and 12.9 in Lithuania (the lowest), against 3.2 in EU-15. The rise from the first to the second period was highest in Belarus (56%) and Russia (44%). The number of injury deaths of undetermined intent was almost equal to that of suicides in Russia in 2005 (ratio 1.0) and Ukraine in 2002 (1.1). In all the countries, especially the Slavic ones, prevalence trends of injury-death subcategories were uniform, i.e. strongly correlated over time. No direct substitution of one diagnosis for another was evident. Conclusions: There is no evidence that the category of \"injury deaths of undetermined intent\" in the Baltic and Slavic countries hides suicides alone. Aggregate level analysis indicates that accidents and homicides could sometimes be diagnosed as undetermined.

Comments on the Demographic Consequences of the Holodomor
Hennadii Boriak's paper provides a very informative description of some of the archival materials available about the Holodomor. He presents valuable information about death registration books that were thought to be almost completely lost as well as about little known and practically unutilized documents such as administrative maps and unpublished reference books on administrative and territorial divisions. A very important contribution is his detailed description of the Soviet government's policy of systematic destruction of documents and data related to the Holodomor. Adapted from the source document.

Population change in the former Soviet Republics
In 1991, the Soviet Union, the world's third most populous country, ceased to exist. The demographic prospects for the 15 new states created by the breakup looks very different now, primarily because of a decrease in birth rates and a disturbing increase in death rates. The economic chaos and overriding pessimism that accompanied political disintegration produced dramatic demographic responses. Russia has experienced the most dramatic changes, with a male life expectancy at birth at only 59 yrs by 1993. Examines the demographic profile of each former Soviet republic within the context of its current economic and political situation. Also presents population projections to 2025 for each of the countries. (Original abstract-amended)
