“…Baransky wrote about macro-, mezzo-and micro-position, but today we use a broader differentiation, namely for Irkutsk we can speak about the position in the World, in Eurasia, in Russian Federation, in the economic region, in the urban agglomeration, etc. (Jakobson, Blinov, 2014); -awareness of historically changing character of EGP; -considering and analysing, alongside with EGP, its special aspects: political-geographic position, transportation-geographic position, ecologic-geographic position, etc.…”

Greening has no alternatives in contemporary world. Yet in Russia another process is taking place – the weakening of environmental consciousness in the conditions of economic backwardness. Our hypothesis is that the only hope is connected with some local breakthroughs and one of them can occur in Irkutsk due to its geographic position. The proximity to the Lake Baikal must influence the mentality of the citizens, which has already been demonstrated once, in the time of Perestroyka. There existed an enormous public activity in Irkutsk with the slogans of closing Pulp and Paper Plant on the bank of Baikal. To analyse this idea, the geographic position is thoroughly considered. Also, a sociological survey was undertaken in the framework of our investigation. This survey showed the high level of Baikal patriotism, as well as some tendencies of forming consumer’s consciousness of the quality of the goods purchased. The market of environmentally-friendly products in Irkutsk was analysed, including the one of food supplements developed by local specialists. This market is in the initial stages of its existence, but it does exist and it is a source of hope.
