Abstract:

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of transformation of volume of property rights to a land lot at different historical stages of development of Russian laws. It is important to consider the historical aspect of civil regulation of property rights to land lot in Russia because of the specifics of variety of its forms in different periods. This article seeks to examine the evolution of institutions of property rights, right of lifetime inheritable possession, lease, mortgage. The authors trace the formation of the institutions in different historical periods: the ancient Russian state, feudal land tenure, land tenure by lease, and the Soviet period. The authors conclude that in the process of historical development these systems, kinds and forms of land use changed, correspondingly the property rights to land also changed. The study shows that today the right of ownership is dominant in the system of property rights since the owner has a full set of powers for possession, use and disposal of land. The authors determine and describe the characteristics of property rights to land. Property rights to land are derived from common property rights, they are dependent on the authority of the owner, but have certain independence and absolute character.
