Chelyabinsk: environmental affairs in a Russian city

Article Abstract:

The concentration of large industrial enterprises in small geographical areas is one feature of the former Soviet economy. Chelyabinsk, located in the Ural Mountains, is an example of this industrial city. Its environment is now extremely polluted as a result of industrial superannuation. The regional Soviet passed a series of emergency measures with an estimated cost of 400 million for the abatement of the region's problems. Western technical and financial assistance are recognized as crucial for this effort.
