Abstract

Expo ’67 in Montreal and Expo ’74 in Spokane took strikingly different stances regarding human-nature relations. The title of the first was “Man and His World.” Here, the Soviet pavilion exhibited the Krasnoyarsk Dam to showcase its conquest of nature. The exploitation of “idle” Siberian resources, like hydro-energy, was bound to fulfill the promise to “catch and overtake” the United States. Yet, the global environmental awakening of the 1960s added a “green race” to existing Cold War races and propelled environmental cooperation. Spokane’s Expo became the first environmental world's fair with the motto “Progress without Pollution.” Now, the ussr exhibited the Krasnoyarsk Dam as an inseparable part of the landscape and the new “green” socialist settlements to demonstrate the industry’s harmony with nature. An envoy for Soviet environmentalism, the display was responsive both to raising global concerns and to the detrimental environmental consequences of industrialization on the ground in Siberia.
“美国梦-苏联现实”:苏联冷战公共外交中的工业化与环保主义
1967年蒙特利尔世博会和1974年斯波坎世博会在人与自然的关系上采取了截然不同的立场。第一本书的题目是《人和他的世界》。在这里,苏联馆展示了克拉斯诺亚尔斯克大坝,以展示其对自然的征服。对西伯利亚“闲置”资源(如水力能源)的开发,注定要实现“赶上并超过”美国的承诺。然而,20世纪60年代的全球环境觉醒在原有的冷战竞赛基础上又增加了一场“绿色竞赛”,推动了环境合作。斯波坎世博会是第一个以“无污染的进步”为口号的世界环保博览会。现在,苏联将克拉斯诺亚尔斯克大坝作为景观和新的“绿色”社会主义定居点不可分割的一部分展出,以展示该行业与自然的和谐。作为苏联环保主义的使者,这次展览既引起了全球的关注,也反映了西伯利亚地区工业化对环境的有害影响。
