The river Zolotitsa is located in what is now Arkhangelsk province and flows into the White Sea. The 1980 discovery and subsequent open-pit mining of a large diamond deposit severely transformed the landscape and is threatening to destroy the ecosystem of the upper Zolotitsa region.
Once a denuded gold mining landscape, now a National Heritage Park, this place is site of emerging environmental histories of post-colonizing, post-mining lands.
