Tides of Empire: Nature and Maritime Resources in the Russian Anthropocene

Ruslana Bovhyria

Kommentar

Stretching across as much as one-sixth of the world’s surface, the territory that made up the tsarist and Soviet empires offers an exceptional habitat for a range of marine ecosystems. Rivers, lakes, wetlands and oceans played a vital role in the history of Northern Eurasia. From the construction of hydraulic projects, manipulation of river deltas to conservation efforts, control over water was a fundamentally political matter, directly tied to larger human and planetary processes like empire-building, Soviet modernization and warfare. All the while, particular concepts of human-animal relations from the Russian and Soviet sciences left a profound impact on contemporary environmental thinking. The seminar focuses on the nexus between water management and political power. In examining this overarching issue we will explore how manifold actors and institutions across the empire devised tools in shaping their own agency over nature.
