Abstract
Environmental issues are a global challenge facing the modern world. The modern Russian Federation faces numerous environmental problems, some of which have accumulated since the Soviet era, including those related to the accelerated and extensive development of various territories. It is crucial to utilize Soviet experience in addressing environmental issues, as the USSR developed a comprehensive approach to environmental protection.
The purpose of the article is to understand the experience of environmental protection activities in the USSR.
Materials and methods of the research — analysis of Soviet and modern monographs, scientific publications and regulatory legal acts.
Since the second half of the 20th century, environmental planning has been implemented, scientific research has been conducted, and environmentally friendly technologies have been introduced into production processes. Modern environmental challenges also require a systematic approach to addressing them. Therefore, analyzing the USSR’s positive experience in environmental conservation will help the Russian Federation develop effective strategies for sustainable development and environmental conservation in the current economic, political, and social realities.
