Abstract Currently, the environmental problems are the main factor which restricts the human social development. The relationships among the problems of the ecological environment, national prosperity and the reform of a social system strongly interest the researchers in the area of sustainable development. As the representative of the socialist countries, the former Soviet Union arouses the researchers' interests in the relationship between its environmental problems and its socialist system. This paper aims to explore the environmental protection issues of the former Soviet Union and its enlightenment to the construction of conservation culture in china. On the basis of analysis of the former Soviet Union's environmental problems, the development of its environmental protection policies, and the reasons of its unsuccessful environmental protection, this author points out that the reasons why environmental protection is on the edge of the national strategy are its grim situations at home and abroad, the abnormal economic development model and the highly centralized political system. In the case of China, the economic development restricts by the lack of resources and the destroyed environment. As a result, the issue of ecological environment has great influence on the political life. And the construction of conservation culture is of great significance to enhance the harmonious development between man and nature and the construction the harmonious society in China. The author suggests that China should have a large-scale circular economy and increase the proportion of renewable energy resources in total energy consumption, bring the discharge of major pollutants under effective control and notably improve ecological and environmental quality and awareness of conservation should be firmly established in the whole of society.
