Environmental Policy and Law in the USSR
The Soviet Union is the first country in which socialism as a philosophical concept has become a reality. Now the USSR is developing with the hope for a better future not only for its own people, but also for mankind. However, this development is not a smooth one. Going this way, we meet difficulties, we make miscalculations, and sometimes we are simply mistaken. Sometimes we go faster, but sometimes we go slower.
Nowadays, we are at the very beginning of the acceleration of socio-economic development of Soviet society. This direction was pointed out by the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). But even before the Congress, it was perfectly clear that the country needed to renovate all aspects of its policy. This new course was declared by the new Party and State leadership, headed by the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Mikhail S. Gorbachev. This new course is unanimously supported by the nation.
