Abstract
This paper analyzes the future of the Russian forest. Its preservation determines, to a large extent, the ethical, economic, and ecological environment of our country. The authors support the idea of a forest being not only a storage place for timber, but a specific state property that, besides its value as raw material, has an enormous ecological and social weight, since it represents a living environment for certain peoples of Russia. The ineffectiveness of the existing forest legislation in Russia was proved through the examples of forest fires. Concrete legislative and administrative solutions are proposed.
