Analyzes the environmental disruption caused by the Soviet economic system. Using Soviet data, the author shows that considerable damage has been done to the environment, and that measures to protect it have been largely ineffective. Two specific problems are discussed: the ineffectiveness of measures to protect the environment and the general mismanagement of natural resource extraction. The former Soviet Union is viewed as a shortage economy with environmental problems as part of its general functioning.
