The Development of Russian Environmental Thought
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the very rich thinking about environmental issues which has grown up in Russia since the nineteenth century, a body of knowledge and thought which is not well known to Western scholars and environmentalists. It shows how in the late nineteenth century there emerged in Russia distinct and strongly articulated representations of the earth's physical systems within many branches of the natural sciences,…
A Russian geographical tradition? The contested canon of Russian and Soviet geography, 1884–1953
The paper defines a ‘geographical canon’ as those texts and authors which have been regarded as authoritative by geographers active at particular points in time. The focus is on the development of a geographical canon in Russia and the Soviet Union between the establishment of the first university geography departments in the 1880s and Stalin's death in 1953. A key 1949 meeting of the Academy of Sciences, held at a crisis point in Soviet history,…

Conceptualizing and Utilizing the Natural Environment
Scholarship concerning Russia's environmental history has developed strongly in recent years providing new insight into Russian society's engagement with the wider environment. Whilst acknowledging the environmentally destructive trends characteristic of the Soviet period, this scholarship has also provided evidence of relatively complex systems for the management and utilization of natural resources. In considering Russia's evolving relationship…

Soviet geographers and the Great Patriotic War, 1941–1945
The significance of the Second World War for Soviet geography was somewhat different from that in much of the West. In the USSR, as a result of the 1917 Russian Revolution and, more particularly, of Joseph Stalin's ‘Great Turn’ implemented in 1929–1933, geographers were faced with pronounced political and economic challenges of a kind which arguably only confronted most Western geographers with the onset of war. It is therefore impossible to unde…
V.I. Vernadskii and the development of biogeochemical understandings of the biosphere, c. 1880s–1968
General notions of the biosphere are widely recognized and form important elements of contemporary debate concerning global environmental change, helping to focus attention on the complex interactions that characterize the Earth's natural systems. At the same time, there is continued uncertainty over the precise definition of the concept allied to a relatively limited critique of its early development, which was linked closely to advances in the …

The End of Peasantry? The Disintegration of Rural Russia By Grigory Ioffe, Tatyana Nefedova and Ilya Zaslavsky
Scientific, Institutional and Personal Rivalries among Soviet Geographers in the Late Stalin Era
Scientific, institutional and personal rivalries between three key centres of geographical research and scholarship (the Academy of Sciences Institute of Geography and the Faculties of Geography at Moscow and Leningrad State Universities) are surveyed for the period from 1945 to the early 1950s. It is argued that the debates and rivalries between members of the three institutions appear to have been motivated by a variety of scientific, ideologic…
Totalitarianism and geography
Landscape Science
The Russian geographical tradition of landscape science (landshaftovedenie) is analyzed with particular reference to its initiator, Lev Semenovich Berg (1876–1950). The differences between prevailing Russian and Western concepts of landscape in geography are discussed, and their common origins in German geographical thought in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are delineated. It is argued that the principal differences are account…

Russia's Involvement in the International Environmental Process
The paper surveys Russia's engagement, both in terms of policy formulation and implementation, with the main initiatives outlined at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). Although coverage extends through the entire period from 1992 to present, a particular focus is on recent developments under the Putin administration, a period characterized by an ostensibly utilitarian approach to environmental management. R…
Revisiting sustainable development
The World Summit on Sustainable Development (26 August–4 September 2002), held in Johannesburg on the tenth anniversary of the first Earth Summit, provides the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of the sustainable development concept. This paper uses the case study of the Russian Federation to explore the relationship between official interpretations of sustainable development and alternative understandings concerned with the betterment of hum…

Soviet and East European Transport Problems
Spatial Dimensions in Soviet Central Planning
With recent changes in its political leadership and a currently disappointing economic performance, the Soviet Union appears to need new economic initiatives. However, the Soviet leaders have so far found it difficult to move far from the centralized, branch-planned economy bequeathed by Stalin, and such policy developments as have occurred have operated within the constraints of that system. For some years politicians have emphasized the need to…

The Soviet Urban General Plan and Recent Advances in Soviet Urban Planning
The Soviet urban general plan is a physical plan document which guides the development of the city for periods of up to 30 years. Recently, however, the general plan has been the object of much criticism in view of its evident failure to guide urbanisation and urban development in the required manner. One basic reason for this is the dislocation between physical and economic planning, and this in turn derives from several features of the Soviet p…
