The article is devoted to the study of the evolution of Russian legislation on environmental crime. The empirical basis of the study was made up of legislative acts of the mid-XVII — early XX centuries. The main trends in the evolution of criminal law protection of natural objects are revealed. The authors came to the conclusion that despite a certain unsystematic and casuistic nature of the legislation establishing responsibility for environmental crimes, the provisions of legislative acts of the mid-XVII — early XX centuries served as the basis for further development of the system of environmental crimes.
