             Land Management with Reference to Conflicts around the
             Reconstruction of the Bachatsky Surface Mine in the Late
             1960s — 1970s},

   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>},

   Title = {RESETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATION AND SOPS ON THE
             “RATIONALIZATION OF NATURE MANAGEMENT” IN THE
             DEVELOPMENT OF SIBERIA (1900–1910s and
             1970–1980s)},

   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.},
