			! Year !! Event !! Postulated effects seen in abortion statistics
			\|-
			\| 1920 \|\| Abortion was made legal by the Bolshevik government as part of their "Decree on Women's Healthcare" -- it was seen as a temporary necessity given that many women were not financially prepared to have kids because of the devastation caused by the war. \|\| No data available
			\|-
			\| 1936 \|\| Abortion was made illegal because the leader, Joseph Stalin, wanted a larger population for greater national power. The law was unpopular. \|\| No data available
			\|-
			\| 1955 \|\| Abortion was made legal again, shortly following Stalin's death in 1953. \|\| No data available
			\|-
			\| 1993 \|\| Legal restrictions on sterilization were removed \|\| Decline in the abortion ratio from 1993 to 1994 -- the abortion ratio was quite high in 1992-1993 relative to what it was both earlier and later, suggesting that sterilization might have prevented further rise in the abortion ratio (note that the abortion ''rate'' was declining anyway, because the number of pregnancies overall was declining).
			\|-
			\| 2011 \|\| Legal abortion was restricted to the first 12 weeks after pregnancy, with exception for abortion in the case of rape (22 weeks) and in case of medical necessity (any time prior to birth) \|\| No data available (too recent)

	The ~~second~~ and ~~fourth~~ columns are not standard demographic variables but have simply been computed to give a better intuition about the maximum extent to which abortion availability could have directly affected fertility. In particular, note that abortions undertaken in a given year may substitute for a birth ''next'' year, so the year-to-year data has some inconsistencies. Also, because detailed age-specific abortion data was not available, the abortion-adjusted TFR does not take into account the age distribution of abortions but simply uses the abortion ratio to adjust the TFR (in the same way as for the CBR), therefore the measure is incorrect.		The third and fifth columns (abortion-adjusted birth and fertility measures) are not standard demographic variables but have simply been computed to give a better intuition about the maximum extent to which abortion availability could have directly affected fertility.

==Data sources==

Abortion data is obtained from [http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/ab-russia.html Johnston's archive], which in turn relies on a variety of sources. Data is not of high reliability.

Fertility data referenced on this page is drawn from the [[Human Fertility Database]], which is of high reliability. The UN data and the HFD data correlate highly, even though the former is slightly less accurate, so the inconsistency in data sources should not affect broad conclusions. For more detailed fertility data, see the [[fertility in Russia]] page.
