“They won’t give up the islands”: the ban on the alienation of Russian territories caused a furor

What it is?

These are lands intended to ensure the operation of organizations and enterprises, for the operation of facilities that are sources of energy supplied to organizations and populated areas. They carry out work that carries increased danger, so there are special security zones here, which are also included in the designated category.

Such memories are provided for the following:

  • placement of hydroelectric power stations, nuclear power plants, thermal power plants and other energy enterprises;
  • use of electric grid facilities;
  • enterprises serving them;
  • radioactive waste dumps.

The listed and similar types of work permitted in designated areas are regulated by the provisions of Articles 87 and 89 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation.

Concept and general characteristics

Designated lands are an object of land real estate allocated by the state to the following participants in land relations:

  • municipalities;
  • enterprises and organizations;
  • service providers.

It also acts as a type of designated purpose, directing the owner of the land plot to use the land only for energy needs, or for related activities for the operation of energy enterprises or the electric grid.

Such lands must have appropriate characteristics related to the form of exploitation:

  • be located outside the city, except for network facilities;
  • be surrounded by a security zone;
  • prevent flooding from adjacent bodies of water;
  • not be located in agricultural areas;
  • do not occupy areas of soil with high fertility and other unique properties.

Due to the increased danger, such areas should be marked with special signs that are not allowed to be removed or moved by yourself.

Special permission lands also include other categories of plots, about which we have prepared separate articles. Learn about lands for space activities, transportation, defense and security, communications.

What is included in this category?

Energy lands are a type of permitted use, being part of the category of industrial and special purpose lands. The right to use them arises among subjects, participants in land relations, due to the type of activity that corresponds to the goals of the energy sector.

Divided into types of use:

  1. zones of location of industry enterprises;
  2. lands used for the location and operation of electrical grid facilities;
  3. landfills and industrial waste disposal sites.

The lands under industrial enterprises provide for the location of such large energy enterprises as the following:

  • hydroelectric power stations;
  • Atom stations;
  • heating stations;
  • nuclear installations;
  • objects and structures that serve energy enterprises.

The land under industrial enterprises occupies vast territories. As a rule, close to this territory there are areas of settlements where enterprise personnel live. Mandatory requirements are the presence of an intermediate security zone that cannot be occupied for development.

The exploitation of the lands of the protective zone occurs only on the basis of Government decrees and orders, where regulations for the use of the protective zone are established separately for each enterprise.

The category and intended purpose of the landfill used as a security zone is not taken into account.

Land plots intended for the needs of the electrical grid can be allocated not only from special-purpose lands, but also from lands of other categories, since they are intended to serve populated areas and agricultural complexes, providing them with electricity. Their separation from other categories occurs on the basis of a land surveying project.

Allowed to be used in accordance with established operational safety measures. Be sure to take into account the norms of maximum and minimum load on power lines, observing the regulations for the use of the earth's surface for underground communications, as well as when installing a certain number of supports when laying overhead power lines.

Storage facilities used for storage facilities include structures for storing nuclear materials and radioactive substances, which requires their location in specially designated areas remote from settlements and agricultural areas.

This type of site also includes landfills used as radioactive waste dumps. When organizing them, sanitary standards are applied, obliging the formation of exclusion zones and appropriate security measures in order to avoid the spread of radiation into the human and natural environment.

Dear colleagues, I wish each of us to hold high the title of lawyer, unswervingly adhering to the principles of impartiality and objectivity!

Who is the owner?

The owner of the land can be either the state or a municipal entity, to which the tracts are transferred for permanent, indefinite use. But in this case, the municipality gives a full report to government agencies that oversee their intended use and compliance with the rules and regulations of operation.

Founders from among the legal entities servicing electric grid facilities can also act as owners of land if it was acquired with funds from the authorized capital.

Protected zones or areas used for transmission line supports may be withdrawn by the municipality in connection with government needs, by replacing the land plot or purchasing it. In some cases, land plots belong to legal entities or individuals, and they are subject to an encumbrance in the form of a public easement.

Types of alienation

In accordance with the concept of alienation, there are two types:

  • Voluntary, a decision based on one’s own will;
  • Forced.

In addition, alienation occurs:

  • Free of charge, for example, when transferring a plot by deed of gift;
  • Paid, possible transfer of land upon sale or transfer to the state.

Voluntary alienation

When voluntarily transferring ownership of a land plot, a citizen at his own request transfers it to third parties.

Such a transfer is possible if the following is concluded:

  • Transactions on the purchase and sale of land . A land plot can be sold in accordance with the Civil Code of Russia, Articles 549-558, as well as the Land Code of the Russian Federation. The land is sold both without buildings built on it and together with them. If the contract does not indicate that ownership of the building is being transferred, then the land plot is automatically transferred into ownership;
  • Voluntary refusal. The owner may apply to the Registration Chamber to relinquish ownership of the plot. Refusal to inherit or lifelong use of a plot allows the state to decide to seize it and provide it to another citizen;
  • Barter agreements. A plot of land can be exchanged for other property and for another plot of land;
  • Deed of gift. The donation is made in favor of other citizens, legal organizations and municipalities of the Russian Federation. The recipient can refuse the gift or accept it. In this case, the plot must be transferred free of charge;
  • A permanent or lifelong annuity agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the citizen who received the plot is obliged to pay rent in monetary terms. A permanent annuity is paid until the citizen pays the amount specified in the contract. A life annuity provides payments for life;
  • Contribution of a plot as a contribution to capital (statutory, share, share). Ownership passes to the legal entity.
  • Wills or inheritance laws. By law, heirs are determined in order of priority. According to the will, the land plot will pass in favor of the specified person.

In case of voluntary transfer, the land is re-registered in the name of the citizen or organization with whom the transaction was concluded.

Forced expropriation

The transfer of property during the forced transfer of land is expressed through the forced seizure of the plot into the ownership of the state, region, city, as well as by going to court.

Reasons for forced termination of property:

  • Confiscation of land. Such a decision is made at least 1 year before this action. In some cases, upon seizure, a citizen may be provided with the same plot in another location, or the cost of the land and structures on it may be reimbursed;
  • Confiscation of the plot. This reason provides for gratuitous seizure. This point occurs when sanctions are imposed and the plot is taken to pay off them;
  • Inappropriate use of land . This reason is possible if the owner does not correct the fact of improper use. Initially, a fine is imposed and only if this punishment does not have an effect, then the plot is confiscated.
  • Requisition of a site. It is temporarily seized by the state and compensation for damages is paid.

Permitted and prohibited use

On such lands it is possible to build industrial enterprises that satisfy the energy needs of a locality or state. It is unacceptable to develop infrastructure in the area where the enterprise is located; third party access to the enterprise territory is completely prohibited. It is allowed to create only the most necessary amenities for organizing the life of employees:

  • canteens and buffets;
  • shower rooms, toilets;
  • change rooms and rest rooms;
  • medical and pharmacy points.

When placing electrical grid facilities, depending on its type, unimpeded passage or passage may be permitted or prohibited.

But under no circumstances should you carry out work that may entail:

  1. underground cable damage;
  2. wire break;
  3. changing the position of the supports.

Such work may include both construction and cultivation of soil in undesignated places, as well as the passage of vehicles under transmission lines or near support poles, provided that damage to them is acceptable.

Management and monitoring

Land property management is a condition for the effective use of land resources. Conducted by federal and municipal authorized authorities, as well as by the Agency for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Control. Officials and authorized persons, as well as proactive citizens making proposals, can take part in management.

Monitoring is an essential part of the management process, focused on the problem of the impact of the use of the massif on the ecological state of the environment. Monitoring is carried out by Rosreestr in accordance with Article 67 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation. Its tasks are as follows:

  • study of the condition of soils used for energy purposes;
  • studying the condition of soils used for protective zones;
  • study of the condition of adjacent soils, the impact of ongoing work on them;
  • obtaining data on the quality of the fertile layer;
  • their contamination with radiation, the radius of its spread;
  • the possibility of their further use for transport needs;
  • the impact of industry activities on the surrounding ecology;
  • the degree of effectiveness of continuing their intended use.

The received data is transferred to authorized authorities, where responsible decisions are made on the use of the land mass or on introducing changes in the procedure for its use. On the same basis, measures to protect the environment in adjacent areas are being developed.

Energy lands are governed primarily by Government Decrees, on which subsequent acts of legislation are based.

The Constitution will include a ban on negotiations on the transfer of Russian territories

When asked how diplomats would negotiate with other countries about lands in this case, Klishas replied that they would not do this. “Diplomats will not have such powers. There will be a constitutional ban on this,” he said.

There will be a general ban within the framework of the Constitution, and liability for its violation will be provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses or other regulations, Krasheninnikov noted. “We are not yet discussing what kind of responsibility this will be and whether it will be the Criminal Code,” Klishas clarified, adding that this will depend on the final wording of the constitutional amendment.

Deputies and senators from the working group plan to introduce a “territorial” amendment to the second reading of the bill on changes to the Basic Law. According to one of RBC's interlocutors close to the group, the final wording of the amendment is planned to be discussed at a meeting of the working group on February 25.

RBC sent a request to the Foreign Ministry.

What is already prohibited

Now the Criminal Code has Art. 280.1 with a similar wording (“Public calls for actions aimed at violating the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation”). It carries a maximum penalty of imprisonment for a term of up to four years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for the same period. The same acts committed using the media and the Internet are punishable by up to five years in prison with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years.

Why was the rule banning the alienation of land needed?

On February 13, at a meeting of the working group with the president, Mashkov said that he had traveled a lot around Russia and communicated with people who fear that after Putin leaves the post of president, there will be people who want to take away some of Russia’s territories - for example, the Kuril Islands, Crimea or Kaliningrad. “I may not formulate it exactly, but it seems to me that it would be nice to enshrine in the Constitution a ban on the alienation of Russian territories. Giving is not allowed. And you can’t even negotiate on this matter. Reinforced concrete,” said Mashkov. The president responded that “he liked the idea itself” and suggested that it be passed on to the lawyers so that they could “formulate it properly.”

They decided to open polling stations at workplaces to vote on the Constitution Politics

The governor of the border Sakhalin region, Valery Limarenko, spoke in support of the initiative. “This is a fair initiative that could finally and irrevocably put an end to senseless speculation about the ownership of the Kuril Islands,” said the head of the region.

Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council Andrei Kortunov, in a conversation with RBC, called this constitutional norm excessive. “This looks like a desire to further consolidate the territorial integrity of Russia and minimize the risks that during some negotiations of individual departments or individual political leaders this territorial integrity may be violated,” he notes.

Russia has many territorial disputes - from Japan to Estonia - similar issues will arise in the future, he continues. “Such a decision should, if not put an end to it, then create a compelling argument for the Russian leadership, which can be referred to. This proposal seems strange to me,” says the expert.

Territorial issues of Russia

A peace treaty following World War II has not been concluded between Russia and Japan; Tokyo lays claim to the islands of the Kuril chain. President Vladimir Putin agreed to negotiate on the treaty issue. In 2001, he spoke about the importance of the Moscow Declaration of 1956, in which the USSR agreed to hand over the islands of Habomai and Shikotan after a peace treaty. In early February, the Japanese publication Chunichi reported that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe plans to offer Putin two of the four southern islands of the Kuril chain at the upcoming celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Victory in Moscow.

The border agreement signed by the foreign ministries of the two countries in 2014 has not been ratified between Russia and Estonia. Estonia's ruling conservative coalition believes that Russia should return 5% of the former Estonian territory.

Border delimitation continues between Russia and Kazakhstan; in 2017, it became known that during this process the small Sladkoe Lake in the Novosibirsk region was transferred to Kazakhstan.

The last time Russia handed over large tracts of territory was when demarcating the border with China. In 2005, several land plots with a total area of ​​337 square meters were transferred. km.

Is it possible to rent or convert to ownership?

This category of land is limited in circulation. Therefore, in no case is it permitted to transfer ownership or lease of land:

  • used for the needs of nuclear and nuclear energy;
  • for hydroelectric power stations;
  • for atomic and nuclear storage facilities;
  • for nuclear waste dumps.

Partial or complete purchase of land by the founders of electric grid farms, thermal power plants and companies representing related services will be allowed. As well as registering them for rent from the state or municipality.

It will also be useful to find out information about whether it is possible to transfer industrial land to another category, and vice versa, whether it is possible to transfer other types of land to industrial land.
