About this listen

In the final episode of Mapping the Planetary, Daniela Russ, Junior Professor at the University of Leipzig, joins hosts Hagen Schulz-Forberg and James Quilligan to explore the fascinating intersections of energy, science, and planetary thoughts in the early Soviet Union (1917–1945). Drawing on the pioneering work of scientists Vladimir Vernadsky and Boris Veinberg, the conversation reveals how Soviet thinkers imagined planetary transformation, in both scientific and political contexts and how these early renditions of planetary thinking, still resonate in today’s debates on the environmentalism, globalism and the Anthropocene.
