There is no doubt that Russia has domestic environmental legislation. It has also signed various International agreements like the Basie Convention and the Kyoto Agreement. Thus, on paper, it certainly has a framework for an environmental policy. But does it have the knowledge or the will to implement it? (Its will has certainly been brought into ąuestion by opportunistic behaviour like the recent cynical use of environmental policy to obstruct the Sakhalin oil contract.) This paper looks at environmental policy and its implementation through the prism of the Tomsk Region, where I worked with the Tomsk Regional Ecological Committee (TREC) for some years in the 1990s. My most recent visit to them was at the end of 2005. From that experience, I think I can draw some morę generał lessons. (fragment of text)
