Abstract

Советский Союз совершил экоцид над собственной природой, и примером этого служит исчезновение Аральского моря. Таков был вывод авторов одного из первых исследований по истории окружающей среды СССР в книге американских авторов Мюррея Фешбаха и Альфреда Френдли (Feshbach and Friendly 1992). Приводя в пример технологическую модернизацию природы, авторы настаивали на понятии «экоцид» применительно к советскому опыту природопользования, в итоге укоренив его в историографии. Экоцид – объяснительная модель отношений между человеком и природой, в которой первый совершает «геноцид» над «экологией».
