Historical background
The population of Vladimir has changed many times in the 20th century. This is due to the fact that a huge number of armed conflicts occurred during this period of time, which were accompanied by colossal civilian casu alties. Statistics from the period of the First World War and the Civil War show that the number of inhabitants has halved: from 43,000 to 23,000 people.
During the restoration of the economy, the population of Vladimir increased again to 40 thousand people. During the years of industrialization, when the economic and political situation in the country somewhat stabilized, the number of Vladimir residents increased one and a half times, reachingimportant milestone of 100 thousand people.
The Great Patriotic War also affected the residents of the city. The population of Vladimir decreased by several thousand people, not counting those who were called up for war from the settlements of the Vladimir region. According to official documents, about a million inhabitants were called up from the territory of Vladimir. Approximately 1/10 part is the inhabitants of the city.

The number of inhabitants in 1989 reached 350 thousand people. During the years of perestroika and the collapse of the USSR, there was a decline in the birth rate and an increase in mortality. The population of the city (Vladimir) has decreased by 10%.

Main causes of population growth
Unfortunately, the increase in the number of residents of Vladimir has nothing to do with the improvement of the demographic situation in the region. In addition, it should be noted that the death rate in the city exceeds the birth rate by almost 1.5 times. However, the migration of the population to the region has increased. Someone comes to Vladimir to study, and someone to work. This is becoming the main determining factor in the increase in the city's population.
