Abstract
New stales in post-communist Europe surfaced with new population policies as being pertinent to new identities. In plural multi-ethnic societies these policies assumed "demographic anxiety"; a dominant (ethnic) group, via census and demography, rises the problem of its numerical strength as societal problem, accompanied with state initiated population policy.
The author explores association between types of state regimes and types of population policies; it is argued that, after comparison of compatible cases, that types of regimes do not covariate with types of population policies. It is argued that one should associate types of population policy with types of intervention into private sphere instead
