This paper presents the results of the analysis of reproductive processes in the urban population of
Elista, Kalmykia, and comparative data on other urban populations of the Volga-Ural region. <...> The
study was carried out in Elista as a sample survey of 460 women older than 45 by measuring indices of
potential selection (IТ) and its components following Crow’s method (1958). <...> On average, there were 5.8177
pregnancies, 2.1448 births and 3.3224 abortions per one post-reproductive woman. <...> The variance in the
average number of children (Vf) is below the average itself, evidencing stability of reproduction. <...> The share
of obstetric pathologies (spontaneous abortions, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies and stillbirths) amounts
to 0.27, which is slightly higher than in the Kazan population (0.22). <...> Thus it could be stated that only 37%
of all pregnancies ended in delivery; and accordingly 57% of pregnancies were artifi cially or spontaneously
terminated. <...> The study of potential selection indexes in urban populations revealed a sharp increase in the
contribution of non-biological factors to the selection coeffi cient value: the force of social pressure is 2.9412
in Stavropol, 2.7399 in Kazan, 2.5418 in Cheboksary, 2.0595 in Saransk, 0.9930 in Syktyvkar, and 1.3092
in Elista. <...> The employment of different methods for the calculation of the total index allowed, for the fi rst time
ever, to quantify the contribution of the social component to the value of selection coeffi cient in a population
(Spitsyna, 2006). <...> It is shown that artifi cial control of reproduction has different effects on reproductive
processes in populations by diminishing individual differences in fertility selection and fi tness. <...> Key words: population, potential selection, reproduction, fertility, obstetric pathology
