The History of Changes in the Social Structure of the Urban Population in the 1920s in the Works of Modern Researchers (Regional Aspect)

Relevance. At present there is still an active process of population outflow from rural to urban areas, as well as from small towns to larger cities. The historical experience of the dynamics of the social composition of the urban population in the periods of radical changes in society allows us to establish the patterns of development of the region, which should be taken into account in the implementation of strategic planning of socio-economic policy of the subject of the Russian Federation. The period of the 1920s is associated with the restoration of the economy after the Civil War and the formation of institutions of Soviet power, the formation of a new type of society. The results of modern research on the dynamics of the urban population in the 1920s are of genuine scientific interest and require generalization.
The purpose – to reveal the specifics of modern regional studies on the structure of the urban population in the 1920s.
Objectives: on the basis of the analysis of scientific works of the XXI century to identify common trends and features of methodological approaches in the scientific search for the history of changes in the social structure of the urban population.
Methodology. In the process of working on the study the basic principles of historical science were used: historicism, objectivity and consistency. Also in writing the article were used both general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, analytical method), and special historical methods: historical-genetic, comparative-historical.
Results. On the basis of the analysis of scientific works the common features of regional studies of the social composition of the urban population in the 1920s, as well as distinctive features of the author's approaches to the historical research in this area are identified, the prospects for further scientific research on the topic are outlined.
Conclusion. Despite the sufficient number of dissertation works devoted to various aspects of the dynamics of the social structure of urban residents in the 1920s, there are no studies in which a historical analysis of the factors changing the social structure of society as a whole and each social group separately, both at the regional and national levels, is conducted.
