Genesis of protective legislation in pre-revolutionary Russia in the field of ecology: historical and legal analysis

Abstract

This article establishes that the genesis of protective legislation in the field of ecology is associated primarily with the scale and depth of the impact of society on its natural environment, with the awareness of environmental values in society and the development of environmental legal thinking. In the context of adaptive and adaptive-practical human impact on nature, the legal mechanism of nature management is based on a complex of property legal relations. On the example of the genesis of the protective legislation of pre-Soviet Russia in the field of ecology, it is shown that protonnormative provisions of an environmental nature appear in the domestic legislation of the XIX century. However, in the context of the transition of society from an adaptive, adaptive-practical to a purely economic (production-consumer) attitude to nature, they did not transform into an independent group of environmental legal norms, continuing to develop in property norm systems (including unauthorized use or destruction / damage of other peoples property), as well as about the peoples welfare, public accomplishment, deanery, etc.
