Humanities and Arts}, Volume = {25}, Number = {4}, Pages = {200-217}, Publisher = {Ural Federal University}, Year = {2023}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.15826/izv2.2023.25.4.069}, Abstract = {<jats:p>This article uses the concept of social costs to analyse the features of Soviet land use in the 1960s–1970s. This concept is based on the study of the mechanisms of modern economies, in which shifting costs to society becomes the most important way to increase profits for producers. Resources depletion and environmental pollution are inevitable costs of any economic activity, but they are usually borne not by the manufacturer, but by third parties and society. The concept of social costs makes it possible to carry out a comprehensive analysis and highlight the complex picture of the actors involved in nature management: those who are the source of social costs, who bear them, and who becomes an agent of redistribution. The empirical material in the article is the conflicts around the reconstruction of the Bachatsky surface coal mine. Its expansion and transformation into one of the largest enterprises of the Soviet coal mining in the late 1960s required withdrawal of significant land plots from nearby farms. The study of conflicts around land allotment, reclamation and compensation demonstrates the following dynamics. In different contexts, the coal industry at all its institutional levels acted as a source of social costs: the ministry, the Kuzbasskarierugol trust, and the Bachatsky mine itself. The Ministry of Agriculture and farms, which directly incurred costs due to the expansion of the mine, did not participate in conflicts on their own behalf. Other actors acted as agents of redistribution: first of all, the Kemerovo Regional Executive Committee, as well as regional Soviet authorities and the State Planning Committee of the USSR. At the same time, each of these bodies had its own vision of the volumes and forms in which coal miners had to compensate social costs.</jats:p>}, Doi = {10.15826/izv2.2023.25.4.069}, Key = {fds375843} } @article{fds374909, Author = {Gilmintinov, RR and Chupin, MY}, Title = {RESETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATION AND SOPS ON THE “RATIONALIZATION OF NATURE MANAGEMENT” IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIBERIA (1900–1910s and 1970–1980s)}, Journal = {Ural'skij Istoriceskij Vestnik}, Volume = {81}, Number = {4}, Pages = {76-85}, Publisher = {Institute of History and Archaeology of Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Science}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.30759/1728-9718-2023-4(81)-76-85}, Abstract = {The article analyzes the approaches to nature management of two departments responsible for the development of Siberia in the Russian Empire and the USSR: the Resettlement Administration and the Council for the Study of Productive Forces (Sovet po izucheniyu proizvoditel’nyh sil – SOPS). Both structures were established in the late imperial period, carried out practice-oriented research on the outskirts for the purpose of economic planning and development of Asian regions, and then, to varying degrees, were integrated into the Soviet system. Comparison of the views of the experts from these two structures makes it possible to reveal the peculiarities of understanding the problems of nature management in the late imperial and late Soviet periods, the development of Asian regions, continuity and gaps between the two regimes. Studying the approaches of the Resettlement Administration and SOPS to nature management demonstrates that the development of Siberia was a way to build not only a new society, but also new approaches to the interaction between society and the environment. The article concludes that the goals of the experts of the Resettlement Administration and SOPS were not purely commercial in nature, their expertise contributed to the solution of political, social, environmental issues, such as the shortage of land in the European part of the Russian Empire; the danger of transferring this problem to the east; dependence on resource exports; uneven distribution of hazardous industries and the associated with it excessive concentration of pollution in industrialized regions. Thus, the deconcentration of the population and industries and their more even distribution, according to the experts, would not only contribute to the development of regions on the periphery, but also weaken environmental problems in the center.}, Doi = {10.30759/1728-9718-2023-4(81)-76-85}, Key = {fds374909} } | |
