Based on analysis of management history of three global environmental issues in Russia--climate change, ozone depletion and acid rains--the author suggests few explanations of failure to build-up the nationwide strategy to manage global risks. Among them are specific factors related to the science-policy relationship in Russia, scientific uncertainties on global changes processes and impacts, etc. Particular attention is given to such internal factors as the monopolization of these issues by the single state agency Hydromet until the late 1980`s; the interest of the Soviet military in global atmospheric issues; the absence of any major input from the public or the media; and the manner in which the discussion of these issues was nested within the Soviet government`s broader foreign policy agenda.
