 Ecological Disaster : Cleaning Up the Hidden Legacy of the Soviet Regime : A Twentieth Century Fund Report (Russia in Transition)
by Murray Feshbach
Brookings Institution; October 1994 (Paperback - 157 pages)
See Okno's review of this book from the East/West Letter (Oct/Nov 1995). From the review:
...[T]he arguments in Ecological Disaster are carefully supported with scientific studies and empirical evidence -- making it more useful to those in the West who must justify the provision of aid.... Mr. Feshbach not only describes again the horrific conditions in the region, but goes on to provide a strategy for the West to help ameliorate the environmental situation in the ex-USSR.
