Mortality and Causes of Death in 20th-Century Ukraine
The Ukraine faced two very different kinds of health crises during the twentieth century. First, in the 1930s and 1940s, famine, war and political upheaval caused massive population losses. Previous evaluations of overall losses have given an idea of the

Foreword
Our first investigations into causes of death in the Soviet period, conducted at the level of the whole USSR,1 rapidly convinced us that an in-depth analysis of the Soviet health crisis could hardly go forward without distinguishing between the 15 constituent republics of the USSR, even before it broke down into 15 independent countries. That is why, in 1990, we made a decision to collect the data needed to analyse trends in cause-specific mortality in each republic. This book is the English translation of an updated version of the book originally published in French in 2003,2 and in Ukrainian in 2006.3 While original dataset covered the period 1965–2000, this one is expanded to the year 2006 and all analyses, comments and graphs have been updated. That work about Ukraine, which comes after the publication of a first volume covering Russia,4 will soon be followed by a third on the Baltic states. The electronic version of the book is accompanied by a package of files that brings together the technical appendices and the statistical tables, (see either at Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research: http://www.demogr.mpg.de/books/drm/009 or at Springer: http://extras.springer.com/).
