A high level of “environmental awareness” in the participating
countries will likely raise the success of the Kyoto Protocol negotiated in
Paris in 2015. In this context it is of interest to investigate the diffusion
of environmental awareness, and also the (economic) factors, on which this
diffusion depends. This paper addresses these questions for the regions of
the Russian Federation, which are sufficiently diverse regarding cultural and
economic issues. From a formal point of view, a “Multiple-Indicator-Multiple-
Causes” (MIMIC) approach, based on a variety of “indicators” for environmental
awareness, derived from search entries in c Yandex, and a variety of
“causes”, economic and socio-economic factors, is applied. The empirical results
point first to a strong dependence of environmental awareness on the
level of GRP per capita. Moreover, the diffusion seems to spread from the
eastern part of Russia towards the western regions.
