The modern world is developing rapidly and rapidly. And the enormous speed of this development gives rise not only to positive phenomena, but also to negative ones. Ecological disaster is one of the things that threaten the world community. Environmental issues are forcing people, cities and countries to come together to withstand global pollution. Civil society is developing, and the result of this development is the emergence of various non-profit organizations, societies, movements that are engaged in solving social and social problems. We can say that in Russia at the moment, civil society is at the beginning of its development, and many social movements are young. But, despite their youth, they are doing a great job to improve our standard of living.
The history of the appearance of "Green Russia" - the way from the community work day to the social movement
The All-Russian ecological public movement Green Russia is a non-profit movement created 4 years ago. It appeared on the basis of the idea of the initiators and participants of the action "All-Russian Ecological Subbotnik" Green Russia ", held on August 31, 2013. 2 600 000 people from all regions of Russia united under the auspices of this action and held the largest and most massive Russian subbotnik at that time.
Green Russia brings together like-minded people who are connected with the ideas of preserving a healthy environment, minimizing harmful emissions and industrial and domestic pollution, and improving the general environmental situation.
Form style
Any environmental movements try to make their activities memorable. In many ways, the means of distinction help them in this. The symbolism of the Green Russia All-Russian Ecological Social Movement is an image of a bright green birch leaf that joins the italic word green, and the word “Russia” is written in solid font on the sheet itself. This emblem is well remembered thanks to the plant element, which catches due to the rich color and association with nature and ecology.
Social significance
The goal of any public undertaking is to benefit. It often happens that a person wants to do something for society, to engage in a matter significant for society, but does not know where to go. Anyone who wants to help on environmental issues can come to the Green Russia All-Russian Ecological Public Movement, because it unites people outside of politics and commerce.
In recent years, patriotism has begun to take on a new meaning in the minds of citizens, and its concept has been rethought. Green Russia is supporting patriotic projects. This means that everyone has the opportunity to get help and advice on their project, if it is associated with patriotism. This social movement unites a variety of age categories: both children and adults participate in its work. Participation of free will in the activities of Green Russia helps to revive the good and correct traditions of caring for the environment and nature.
National importance
Green Russia, an all-Russian environmental social movement, is particularly active in Moscow. First of all, with the help of Green Russia, it is possible to develop and maintain social activity, which is important for building a true civil society, where people themselves largely determine the quality of their lives.
Traffic coverage is very large - about 10 million people across the country. “Green Russia” also develops the cohesion of generations and the connection between them, contributes to the education of a conscious and responsible nation.
Statistical data

A year later, the number of participants doubled and amounted to almost 5 million people. In 2015, “Green Russia” begins to implement a large-scale project “Victory Forest”, in which about 10 million people have participated at the moment. Over the entire period of the work of the social movement, 85 regions of our country have joined in its activities.
Support for Green Russia by the President of Russia
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, President of the Russian Federation, at the last economic forum held in St. Petersburg, urged entrepreneurs to pay attention to environmental problems and expand their corporate and social responsibility in this area.
With the support of Putin V.V. Green Russia is developing the Register of Environmentally-Friendly Enterprises. This Register has been created to support entrepreneurs who care about preserving the environment, so that they become an example for others. Healthy competition in the area of environmental responsibility of companies is only beneficial.
The most famous projects
As already noted, the social movement is engaged in patriotic education of citizens. As part of this area of work, the project “Forest of Victory” was created. This initiative is aimed at perpetuating the memory of 27 million people who died during the Great Patriotic War.
The goal of the project is to plant 27 million trees and then further scale the project. The symbolism of the All-Russian environmental public movement Green Russia (the photo was already shown above) is quite interesting. A gold twig with a St. George ribbon is added to this emblem in the lower part - this is how the symbol “Forests of Victory” turns out. The second notorious project of Green Russia is the association “Green Pioneers”. It gathers indifferent youth who will become the future of our country and will be responsible for the civic education of the masses of people. The creators of the Green Pioneers were inspired by the Timurovites and the Soviet Pioneer, and therefore included some of their principles in their work.
