Recenzje

'Telling the dramatic story of the far-reaching transformation of the Kola Peninsula in the Russian far north, Bruno speaks to larger truths of environmental change in the USSR and the world in the twentieth century. Well-written and deeply researched, this is a must-read book for anyone interested in the relationship between state power and environmental change and a vivid example of the best new scholarship on Russian environmental history.'
