Functional and Demographic Changes in Urban Space under the Extreme Conditions of Military Reality (on the Example of Cherepovets in 1941–45)

The author analyses functional and demographic changes in the urban space of Cherepovets under the extreme conditions of the Great Patriotic War. Functional changes were caused by military needs, and in the situation of limited space and limited resources, led to the infringement of the urban population; at the same time they were not fully effective in rendering aid to the evacuees and military personnel. In terms of demographic changes, on the one hand, there was a haemorrhage of population, caused by mobilization and natural population decline, and on the other hand, there was an increase that resulted from migration processes.
