FORMATION OF NATURE PRESERVATION ACTIVITIES IN THE CRIMEA. CRIMEAN STATE RESERVE IN 1923—1941
Abstract
The article covers the issues related to the creation history of the first environmental research institution in the Crimea — the Crimean State Reserve in 1920 — early 1940s. Practically unknown stories about the first years of the reserve’s existence are considered. Based on the analysis of domestic scientific literature, published and previously unpublished archival sources, the first regulatory documents regulating the activities of this nature protection zone were identified. The study covers various aspects of research activities that determine the place of the Crimean State Reserve in the nature protection system of the RSFSR and the USSR, its reassignment to various higher authorities in the light of changes in the relevant legislative acts during the specified period; reveales tendencies towards a gradual increase in the area of the reserve and interaction with Crimean environmental public organizations. The issue of the origin and formation of environmental education activities through the creation of the Museum of Nature and excursion routes around the territory of the reserve is highlighted. The projects on acclimatization of valuable species of animals, which led to the enrichment of the species composition of the fauna of the peninsula, which played an important role in the development of environmental activities in the Crimea and the USSR, are analyzed. The names of individual scientists and leaders who made a great contribution to the study and conservation of the Crimean nature during the period under study, which were erased from the history of Russian science during the years of repression in the 1930s, have been restored.
