One of Russia’s leading geographers provides a detailed assessment
of the demographic and economic dimensions of the new Russian
Heartland, supplementing and extending the analysis provided in the
preceding paper in this issue (Bradshaw and Prendergrast, 2005). He
presents intriguing comparisons of Russia’s place in the world
relative to other global powers for benchmark years during the 20th
and early 21st centuries, before examining spatial shifts in key
indicators of Russia’s population distribution and economic
activity over the same period. Subsequent sections of the paper
address Russia’s shrinking effective territory during the 1990s,
and by extension the overpopulation of its northe regions.

In this new era of 'contested modernity' the central player will...
