Abstract
Among the peoples living in contemporary Bashkortostan are the Mordva. The forming of the Mordovian ethnoterritorial group in Bashkortostan had been taking place primarily in the second half of the 18th - early 20th centuries. Up until the 1940s, the Mordovian population in the republic was increasing in numbers; whereas since the start of the second half of the 20th century, it has been constantly decreasing. The article analyzes the conditions and factors that were instrumental in this depopulation process in the 20th century: changes in the tradition geography of settlements, urbanization and its tempos, population dynamics and proportions of gender-age groups in various years, family size, mixed marriages and assimilation, levels of native language proficiency in various years, etc. Among the sources used are the census data from 1920-1989, as well as unpublished statistical data from archives of Bashkortostan.
