The topic of this issue is Russian Environmentalism During the War. Maria Tysiachniouk analyzes the changing dynamics of the environmental NGO community in Russia, reflecting on the complex interplay between state control, international collaboration, and grassroots activism; Maria Chiara Franceschelli explores the complex interplay between environmentalism, center-periphery relations, and ethnonationalism in Russia during both peacetime and wartime; and Angelina Davydova focuses primarily on Russia's climate policy rather than on climate activism, arguing that the climate agenda in Russia is undergoing significant changes and facing challenges due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
