THE GENESIS OF ECOLOGICAL PROGRAMS IN THE FORMATION OF THE GAS TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY IN WESTERN SIBERIA 1960-1982

Abstract

The article considers the issue of the development of environmental programs during the construction of a gas pipeline system in Western Siberia. The relevance of the work is the importance of solving environmental problems in modern realities, in the conditions of construction of a large number of gas transmission trajectories. It should be noted that the appeal to the experience of developing integrated environmental programs contributes to the optimization of technologies, financial costs and other components in the present time. We focus on the insufficient knowledge of this problem in modern historiography. The main concept put forward by the author is the lack of integrated environmental programs in the USSR until 1982, the moment of the development of the territorial integrated scheme of nature protection on the routes of construction and operation of gas pipelines. Surely, until 1982, attention was paid to environmental problems, with the genesis of gas pipelines as a factor of negative impact on the environment. However, environmental programs did not have a comprehensive nature, and the main task of the development of the gas industry in Western Siberia was to deliver gas to the consumer, to the detriment of the environment. This approach has led to a large number of environmental problems.
