The article analyses the image of nature in the works of Soviet writer Andrei Platonov. It focuses on three themes: (1.) the combination of ecological awareness and hostility towards nature in the 1920s newspaper articles, (2.) the concept of the “harsh arrangement of nature” and the role of technology and ideology in the essays from 1930s, (3.) the image of animals and the concept of poor life as the basis of communism. As I argue, we can point to two elements that are constant in Platonov’s thinking of nature: the awareness of the limits and complexity of nature and the need to transform nature in order to guarantee the material basis for communism.
