The former Soviet empire spanned eleven time zones and contained
half the world's forests; vast deposits of oil, gas and coal;
various ores; major rivers such as the Volga, Don and Angara; and
extensive biodiversity. These resources and animals, as well as the
people who lived in the former Soviet Union - Slavs, Armenians,
Georgians, Azeris, Kazakhs and Tajiks, indigenous Nenets and
Chukchi - were threatened by environmental degradation and
extensive pollution. This environmental history of the former
Soviet Union explores the impact that state economic development
programs had on the environment. The authors consider the impact of
Bolshevik ideology on the establishment of an extensive system of
nature preserves, the effect of Stalinist practices of
industrialization and collectivization on nature, and the rise of
public involvement under Khrushchev and Brezhnev, and changes to
policies and practices with the rise of Gorbachev and the break-up
of the USSR.
