Abstract
The USSR had planned their ecological development since the end of the 9th five-year plan because of the newest methods and computers which could help in the planning process. There were a lot of disputes about the definition of the concept of ecological planning. Some scientists thought that ecological planning is about human activity, but there were scientists who said that it’s more important to know how many nature resources people use in their economic. The first ecological plan based on statistics from ministries, but they had not had unified forms. So norms of USSR State Planning Committee were incorrect, and plans were not carried out. The section «Nature protection and rational use of natural resources» of global plan based on ministries data. For example, Ministry of Land Reclamation and Water Resources of the USSR planned water resources protection. Starting from the 10th five-year plan the USSR sponsored environmental protection activities, and about 70of the funds were spent on the protection of water resources. So there are some positive moments in ecological planning of the USSR in 1970–1980, but it were things that dealt with the consequences, rather than being a warning.
