Alain Blum, Catherine Gousseff, Demographic and social statistics, element for a historical analysis of the Russian and Soviet state. Demographic and social statistics give a very interesting perspective on the nature of the Soviet state allowing extensive comparison in time. Demographic and social statistics are at the crossroad of committed thinking in Europe of the nineteenth century and of certain tradition which comes undoubtedly from tsarist Russia. It is founded on the convergent thought of the statisticians, concerned with the construction of a "modern state," and the Soviet leaders' wish to centralize the government. Statistics are also the place of greatest contradiction between political thinking and action, which try to deny the society they rule, and a day-by-day observation that reflects the complexity of this society and the violence to which it is submitted. This article, as an introduction to this issue, shows how interesting this viewpoint is and how it fits in the dual contemporary movement in the history of statistics and the of Russia and the USSR.
