Most prominently, the efforts to reduce emissions from the nickel industry on the Kola Peninsula and the Norwegian-Russian projects aimed at containing and removing sources of nuclear waste are discussed. This historic account also debates why transborder pollution became such a prominent area of collaboration between Norway and Russia in the post-Soviet era.
