The Environmental Factor as a Threat to Russia's Economic Security Using the Example of Disasters in the Black Sea

In the modern world community, the importance of the theory of sustainable management and use of natural resources is growing, and the environmental factor is considered as an integral part of the economic security of the state. The stable relationship between the development of the economy of any country and the state of the environment is confirmed by fundamental studies. At the same time, the existence of contradictions between obtaining entrepreneurial profits, state revenues and negative impact on the environment contribute to the formation of threats to the economic security of the state, which is confirmed in the study presented by the authors on the example of disasters that occurred in the Kerch Strait in 2007 and the Black Sea in 2024. This article analyzes the causes of the disasters; measures taken to eliminate the consequences, as well as methods for calculating damage. In conclusion, the authors concluded that it is necessary to introduce priority measures that will not only preserve the biological diversity of the Black Sea, but also reduce the anthropogenic impact on the environment.
