"The book does make a valuable contribution in bringing together work from Russian experts and making it available to a wider audience. The technical detail means that the collection will be of interest to readers seeking to gain a greater understanding of the extent of key environmental problems and their management in Russia." THOMAS O’BRIEN Cranfield University at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom
"...taken as a whole, the empirical chapters are indicative of widespread and somewhat convoluted corrupt activities with respect to certain natural resources, intensified by the accidental infringement of environmental legislation in some cases. As such, they provide a useful basis for future work in this area." Jonathan D. Oldfield, University of Birmingham
