In Russia this obligation was introduced by statute in 2015. However, it is worth noting that in a global context this idea is much older. It was first put forward in Sweden in 1990 by a famous activist Thomas Lindhqvist, who is a Swedish ecologist. As early as 2001 the OECD published a guidance manual for the governments of the organisation’s member states. Currently, the concept is implemented practically in all developed global economies. The purposes of this concept are basically similar in all countries. First and foremost, the purpose is to implement the fair “polluter pays” principle.
