Goskomstat
(
Russian
:
Государственный комитет по статистике
,
romanized
:
Gos
udarstvennyi
kom
itet po
stat
istike
, or, in English, the
State Committee for Statistics
) was the centralised agency dealing with
statistics
in the
Soviet Union
. Goskomstat was created in 1987 to replace the
Central Statistical Administration
, while maintaining the same basic functions in the collection, analysis, publication and distribution of state statistics, including economic, social and population statistics. This renaming amounted to a formal demotion of the status of the agency.
In addition to overseeing the collection and evaluation of state statistics, Goskomstat (and its predecessors) was responsible for planning and carrying out the population and housing censuses. It carried out seven such censuses, in
1926
,
1937
, 1939,
1959
,
1970
,
1979
and
1989
.
House No. 39, on Ulitsa Myasnitskaya,
Tsentrosoyuz building
, home to Goskomstat, was designed by the
Swiss
-born architect
Le Corbusier
.
