Abstract
Environmental protection measures have been included in the national economic plan of the USSR since 1976. Environmental planning was carried out by the Nature Conservation Department of the USSR State Planning Committee. Environmental planning was carried out on the basis of statistical reporting submitted by enterprises However, despite the annual increase in budget allocations allocated for environmental protection needs, the environmental situation has practically not improved. This is especially noticeable in the example of the water resources of the North of Western Siberia: the concentrations of harmful substances in local water bodies exceeded the standards tens of times.
The purpose of the article is to analyze the problems solved by the USSR in the 1970–1980s. when carrying out environmental planning within the framework of protecting water resources in the North of Western Siberia.
Materials and methods of research — analysis of monographs and publications in scientific collections of the 1970–1980s, as well as archival documents included in the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Archive of Economics.
The problem of Soviet environmental planning was a violation of the logic of planning, which was carried out “from above”, the inability to quickly provide all enterprises with treatment facilities, inflated standards and manipulation of statistics. However, the existence of environmental planning in the USSR indicates that the state recognizes environmental problems and is committed to solving them.
