The protection and development of forests, agricultural techniques simi- lar to today\u2019s permaculture and agroecology, and the development of the famous zapovedniki. These protected nature reserves, for which Russia is still famous today, were developed in Soviet Russia following the nationalization of land after the Bolshevik revolution. Lenin thought it would be a good idea to generalize to the whole territory the unique experience of the fa- mous Dokuchaev on a first zapovednik created in a very limited Russian steppe.<\/p>\n

Only a revolution could expropriate the feudal lords in order to manage and integrate the Russian soil, now a recognized and protect- ed national asset. The multiplication of such zapovedniki was then easily achieved, since the State owned them on the legal basis of the law \u201cOn Natural Monuments, Gardens and Parks\u201d conceived by Lenin in 1921, inspired by the agronomist Podiapolski.<\/p>\n

While hunting and fishing were strictly limited and controlled on all territories, access to the reserves was banned outright (except for accredited scientists). The aim was to cre- ate wilderness reserves throughout the country, both to protect the great diversity of the Soviet environment and its biodiversity, and to enable agronomists to draw inspiration from nature and its natural cycles, adapt- ing the most appropriate agricultural techniques to local conditions. These zapovedniki were places of science, protection of natural re- sources and instruction for farmers, who were more interested in nature\u2019s complex biological responses to permanent environmental disturbances than in formalist, purely \u201cchemical\u201d responses that could be used every- where, all the time.<\/p>\n

Following the recommendations of Vernadsky and his disciple Koje- vnikov, each zapovednik was to function as an association of autonomous ecosystems, presenting all trophic levels and resembling an ideal fragment of the biosphere.<\/p>\n
