The state of the Kaban Lake and Bulak canal at the end of the XIX century, draining the sewage, and low culture of the townspeople. All these problems are reflected in the documents presented at the exhibition devoted to the Year of Ecology.

On May 1, 1920, the population of Kazan and Kazan Province took an active part in the All-Russian May Day Clean-up. To manage all works, both in preparation for the action and in its conduct, a special Office was established at the Kazan Province executive committee. 

“By the beginning of the XX century, Kazan has significantly changed its appearance, turning into a more comfortable city, but its sanitary condition was still a weak point in the city economy of Kazan, not only in pre-revolutionary, but also in subsequent years”. Such facts are shown at the documentary exhibition devoted to the Year of Ecology, which is taking place these days in the hall of the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan in the archival case (44, Novo-Pesochnaya St., Kazan).
