Abstract

Problems of environmental protection in the USSR : attitudes and pronouncements.
The Soviet attitude to nature has its roots in historical myths, inspired and supported by the particular Russian view of Marxist theory.
From Lenin to Brezhnev, conservation of the environment and of natural resources has figured as part of official ideology : optimism reigns throughout political literature and the media, there being only a few discordant voices to add a jarring note.
