The St. Petersburg office of Bellona Foundation (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. ERC Bellona was located in the center of St. Petersburg, on Suvorovsky Prospect.
ERC Bellona's stated goals were to protect unspoiled natural resources and reliable environmental information.[1]
