Fußnoten:Summary/Abstract: In the last third of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, capitalism and industrial development caused an increasing anthropogenic load on Russian nature. The residents of cities and towns were the first ones who experienced the effects of environmental contamination, and over 25 thousand of Novgorod inhabitants were among them. The article is devoted to the analysis of urban pollution and sanitation in Novgorod, which was a small town of the Russian Empire with 17-27 thousand population. The article explained that a small city had problems with water and soil pollution by domestic wastes. The research made it possible to identify the causes of the origin of urban sanitation in a small Russian city. It is essential for understanding the place of small cities of late modern times in urban environmental history. The source base consisted of materials of the funds of the state archives of the Russian Federation, periodic press, record-keeping documentation, and statistics.
