Discrimination in Demographic Review

Just recently (five minutes ago) I have found a sign of how strongly and probably unconsciously Vishnevski dislikes me ;)
The new online demographic journal (subj) currently has three sections, according to the content our paper belongs to analytical one, but it does not sit there. Thanks a lot we are mentioned in the authors' section.
Real fun ;)
why?

Birth Control in Russia: Overcoming the state system resistance

It is published as a HSE working paper in sociology WP BRP 42/SOC/2014.

This paper considers the changes in the major proximate determinants of fertility in Russia within the framework of demographic transition theory and Bongaarts approach to fertility analysis. After World War II Russian fertility became a fully controlled process. The complex interplay of abortion and contraception during the Soviet period resulted in a very high abortion level. The Russian government has almost never supported and promoted family planning as an alternative to abortion. However couples' preferences for few offspring appeared more powerful than the will of authorities. Current trends show that despite the lack of governmental support society itself is evolving towards more humanistic and effective birth control. Estimates based on recent surveys' data confirm the validity of official statistics showing there is a decline in the number of abortions.
