metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines how the reports of ministers of Agriculture and State Property reflected
  the results of their official trips across the Russian Empire and their evaluation of the manifestation
  of intensive use of natural resources. It also analyses the impact of their opinions and
  suggestions with regard to the state nature management. The main methodological approach
  lies in the ideas of environmental history — an interdisciplinary scientific area devoted to various
  aspects of interaction between man and nature. Ministerial notes on the results of their
  official trips, along with the State Audit Office, senatorial audits, annual reports of ministers
  and governors, created an overall picture of the state affairs for the emperor. The article presents
  an analysis of 11 reports by M. N. Ostrovskii and A. S. Ermolov for the 1880s–1900s based
  on the archival and published sources. The duality of perception of environmental problems
  by ministers is noted: they had to balance between the maximum use of natural resources for
  the economy and the need to protect them from depletion. Often, the ministers’ suggestions
  on the careful nature management were taken into account in the government decisions. Thus,
  since the end of the 19th century, reclamation, reforestation, and other activities had been
  actively carried out. Also, there was an intensive development of the Ural and Siberian resources.
  The trips of the ministers of Agriculture and State property played an important role
  in identifying, diagnosing, and minimizing the environmental problems. However, the state
  nature restoration didn’t adequately compensate anthropogenic damage to nature. That was
  because the state paid more attention to geopolitical and economic development, which led to
  the extensive use and depletion of natural resources.
