metadata.value: This article explores the activities of scientific and environmental organizations of the USSR during
  the World War II, in the context of Russian environmental history. Environmental history is an interdisciplinary
  scientific field at the intersection of the humanities and natural sciences, studying the co-evolution of nature and
  society. Using archival and published sources, this article focuses on the All-Russian Society for the Conservation
  of Nature, the All-Union Geographical Society, and the Council for the Study of Productive Forces. Nature
  made a significant contribution to victory, as the use of natural wealth made it possible to provide the army and the
  rear with necessary raw materials and food. The most important role in mobilizing a variety of natural resources
  was played by Soviet scientists. At the same time, ecological systems were seriously damaged. Starting from
  the war and into the postwar years, the technogenic management era commenced. The leadership of the USSR
  bet on the active development of the mineral resource and energy base in the eastern part of the country, which
  was another blow to the environment. The All-Russian Society for the Conservation of Nature tried to restrain the
  state’s onslaught on nature and sought to minimize its consequences. Its most important task was to popularize
  environmental ideas among the people. Thanks to the efforts of members of the Society, the authorities turned
  their attention to environmental problems: in 1946, a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR “On Nature
  Protection in the RSFSR” was issued. After this, environmental protection completely came under state control
  and aimed at balancing active economic activity in the country.
