Abstract
The industrial development of natural resources and raw materials of East Siberia began in 1930s and continued at a fast rate up to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, spreading to more and more territories in the region. It was accompanied by the pollution of rivers which were used for supplying water to industrial facilities and as sewerage for their wastewater. Work aimed at protecting the environment, and in particular at protecting bodies of water, started in East Siberia after the Environment Protection Law had been passed in 1960 and included the construction of purification facilities, the reduction of raw materials lost with wastewater, and the implementation of water reuse. In certain cases, significant results were achieved, but the attempts to stop water pollution in the studied period failed. One of the reasons for that was the industrial approach to the development of the natural resources of the region and the common practice of prioritizing economic goals rather than environmental ones.
