14. p. 47-72.This chapter analyses conditions under which residents of a small Russian town accept the concepts "pollution" and "ecological risk". The town in question is Sokol in the Vologda oblast of the Russian Federation, where there are two pulp and paper mills and other forest industries. Sokol is a typical small town with a population of about 40,
000. The pulp and paper mills are locally run. The issues surrounding Sokol’s pulp and paper mills generally present a typical Russian picture with one major exception. Industrialization in Sokol goes back more than a century and thus reflects the broader history of the 20th century.Заголовки:
