India and USSR are countries with distinctly different politico-economic systems and therefore their methods of dealing with
socio-economic problems also widely vary. This differential approach in perceiving problems and consequently in tackling them
is significantly brought out in this volume which is a collection of papers presented by Iridian and Soviet scholars.
Two diametrically different experiences -the Soviet and the Indian+are examined in detail. The controlled migratory
movement of population has helped the USSR avoid the growth of slums and dichotomous development of its urban
economy. It is worthwhile for the planning authorities in India to study the regulatory flow of migrants in the Soviet Union, in
order to evolve their own strategies in a country where urbanization has become a key factor in the politico-economic ethos.
