Forming of management of nature traditions in Russia: history and the present

Abstract

The natural factor brought to life such tradition of envi-ronmental management activities as the wasteful attitude to-wards the natural wealth that negatively affected economic de-velopment of the country and the ecological situation. On the contrary, the tradition of the state intervention in all spheres of life of the Russian society in the case of environmental relations proved as exclusively positive. In this article the most significant state documents regulating the use of natural resources and en-vironmental protection in Russia and the USSR are noted.; The short sketch of development of environmental man-agement and nature protection of the second half of XX – the beginning of the 21st centuries is given. Special attention is paid to the influence of ideological, economic directions of develop-ment of the management of nature activities on formation of eco-logical consciousness of Russians. Specifics of genesis of the en-vironmental problems in the Far East of Russia are marked out.
