Examines how natural resources were protected and exploited by the Soviet system across the vast majority of Russian lands not set aside as nature reserves. This book focuses on the late nineteenth and pre-revolutionary twentieth centuries.

Provides a narrative survey and critical analysis of a rich but overlooked tradition of geographical exploration by Russians and others in Russian service since 1580. Following Russian pioneers across Siberia, Alaska, Brazil, Hawaii and the Pacific, Central Asia, Australasia, the Arctic and Antarctic, and into space, this introduces Russia into the history of world exploration and connects the Russian experience of exploration to Russian national identity past and present.
