The essay analyzes the evolution of EU environmental policies in relations between Europe and the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1994. During such a period, profound changes took place both on the inner side of the European legal space and on the Soviet side. In particular, in this historic step, supranational environmental policies have known a growing affirmation. Strong influences on national legal systems ensued, while the Soviet Union had to face the tragic consequences of the Čornobyl nuclear accident and then its dissolution, which took place in 1991. In the following years, European and global environmental policies have focused on the fight against climate change by posing new questions that put the role of the Russian Federation at the center. Finally, in the light of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the contribution deals with the geopolitical framework that sees the relations between the EU and Russia at the center regarding the energy sector, inevitably intertwined with climate policies.

Abstract
The essay analyzes the evolution of EU environmental policies in relations between Europe and the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1994. During such a period, profound changes took place both on the inner side of the European legal space and on the Soviet side. In particular, in this historic step, supranational environmental policies have known a growing affirmation. Strong influences on national legal systems ensued, while the Soviet Union had to face the tragic consequences of the Čornobyl nuclear accident and then its dissolution, which took place in 1991. In the following years, European and global environmental policies have focused on the fight against climate change by posing new questions that put the role of the Russian Federation at the center. Finally, in the light of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the contribution deals with the geopolitical framework that sees the relations between the EU and Russia at the center regarding the energy sector, inevitably intertwined with climate policies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
