ABSTRACT

Firstly, the article describes the annual monthly and seasonal distribution of marriages, conceptions, births, deaths, and natural population growth in the cities and villages of the Yenisey Governorate of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Secondly, the cumulative influence of the main factors determining the specific regional and settlement configuration of the seasonality of demographic events is revealed. Thus, the Yenisey family demographic calendar became the object of study, its matrimonial, reproductive, mortal and integrating procreative aspects were considered. Aggregated data from the Central Statistical Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Yenisey Governorate for 1902–1903 are in demand as the main historical sources. In addition, the data from the metric books of the Orthodox churches of Minusinsk for several years at the end of the 19th century, published by T.A. Kiskidosova, was used. Based on absolute quantitative indicators of the spread of demographic events by month of the year, relative indicators (percentages) are calculated, they are summarized in tables and presented in line charts. As a result, common features of the demographic calendar in the villages and cities of the region have been established: a strong spread of marriages by month and a more uniform distribution of other demographic events; the presence of stable seasonality of marriages, conceptions, births and deaths, ensuring high rates of natural population growth in the autumn-winter period with a "natural" population decline in the height of summer, etc. Some features of the city calendar, common to the Yenisey Governorate and specific to Minusinsk, are also identified. The Identified patterns of the annual cycle of generation replacement are explained from the standpoint of a multifactorial approach, considering the natural, climatic, economic, socio-cultural and religious parameters of people's lives on the Yenisei.
