Stephen Brain is an anti-communist researcher but in this paper he demolishes the "old consensus view" and shows that environmentalism actually thrived in the Stalin era. Soviet environmental protection at the time protected soils from erosion by protecting forests. Soviet Union had the largest protected forest zones in the world. However, only 6 days after Stalin's death The Ministry of Forest Protection was abolished. Within a year of Stalin's death the number of forest management workers in Moscow alone was reduced from 927 to 120.
