Pollution of the Natural Environment and the Dissolution of the Soviet Union

• Gorbachev’s environmental policies aimed at raising the masses and incite them to action for the common good. A side effect was the introduction of the factor information in Soviet society.

The ensuing political mobilization was nationalist in spirit.
