Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of the variability of the population structure of the Belgorod region from 1999 to 2019. The material for the study was data on the frequencies of 28574 surnames of the entire population (more than 1.5 million people) of the Belgorod region in 2019 compared to 1999 data. Over 20 years, the population of the region decreased by an average of 12%, the number of surnames – by 34%, the level of migration influx increased by 4.8 times, leading to a 22.7% increase in random inbreeding. Significant factors in the variability of the population structure of the region over two decades, estimated on the basis of data on surnames, remained the level of migration influx of the population and the degree of development of transport infrastructure.
