摘要：The article is a study of the process of formation of the organizational and legal mechanism for ensuring environmental safety in the Russian Federation, as well as an analysis of a number of urgent problems arising in the implementation of the state environmental policy by the country. The authors’ study is interdisciplinary in nature and includes not only a legal analysis of regulatory acts adopted by the Russian state in order to ensure environmental safety, but also some assessments of an economic and natural-scientific (environmental) nature related to the functioning of resource-extracting sectors of Russian industry and their impact on state of the environment. Considerable attention is paid to the worldview aspects of the topic under study. The role of the territories of the Russian Federation not disturbed by economic activity in maintaining the sustainability of the global ecosystem is emphasized.
