Funded by a Leverhulme International Network grant for £123,000, for three years from July 2013, a network of specialists at British, American and Russian institutions is conducting multidisciplinary research into key aspects of the environmental history and natural resources of lands that have come under Russian rule over a long time period and in a global comparative perspective.
The network activities revolve around workshops and field trips in St Petersburg, the Solovetskii islands in the White Sea, the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine, and Lake Baikal in Siberia, culminating in a final conference in York.
By adding field work to conventional historical research we will enhance our understanding of the history of Russian scientific research, exploitation of natural resources, environmental disasters, and nature conservation.
Lead investigator: David Moon, Anniversary Professor, Dept of History, University of York.
