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. 410 0$aStudies in environment and history. 606 $aHuman ecology$zRussia (Federation)$xHistory 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$zRussia (Federation)$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmental degradation$zRussia (Federation)$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zRussia (Federation)$xHistory 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aHuman ecology$xHistory. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$xHistory. 615 0$aEnvironmental degradation$xHistory. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xHistory. 676 $a304.20947 700 $aJosephson$b Paul R$0685141 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462874103321 996 $aAn environmental history of Russia$92239704 997 $aUNINA
