Anatoly Vishnevsky and his demographic system
Abstract
The article provides an overview of the scientific achievements and creative legacy of the outstanding Russian demographer A.G. Vishnevsky (1934-2021). Vishnevsky's works have become classics, linking within the framework of an integrated demographic theory a huge number of diverse and seemingly disparate facts of demographic history and modernity. The central provisions of Vishnevsky's Demographic System, consistently developed over half a century, took their complete form only by the mid-2010s. The article emphasizes what was new in A.G. Vishnevsky’s theory of demographic transition, as well as his decisive role in the institutionalization of Russian demographic science. The article is based on both the works of A.G. Vishnevsky and on the personal experience of many years of creative cooperation with their author.
