Pollution of the Natural Environment and the Dissolution of the Soviet Union

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearch

Abstract

Gorbachev’s environmental policies aimed at raising the masses and incite them to action for the common good. A side effect was the introduction of the factor information in Soviet society. Thereby centrifugal political forces were released. These forces rallied behind environmental issues of local, and thus local ethnic significance. The ensuing political mobilization was nationalist in spirit.
