Bellona – St. Petersburg is a branch of the environmental rights organization the Bellona Foundation, headquartered in Oslo, Norway. Founded in 1986, the Bellona Foundation primarily functions as a nuclear watchdog and focuses on developments in Russia. The St. Petersburg office of Environmental Rights Center Bellona (ERC Bellona) was founded in April 1998 following the trials of such activists as Fedorov – Mirzoyanov, Nikolai Shchur, and Alexander Nikitin, who had begun to distribute information about environmental threats and were being persecuted by the very agencies responsible for causing these threats. These cases highlighted the need to provide legal support for an organization to defend the rights of all Russians to unspoiled natural resources and reliable information about their condition.
