Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to substantiate the existence of the form of ownership of natural resources (land) in the Russian law, unknown to European legal systems.
Design/methodology/approach
Dialectical method, historical method and system analysis method have been used.
Findings
The conducted research allows drawing a conclusion that non-delineated state form of ownership of land plots is a unique legal phenomenon caused by the specificity of the transition period of Russia from a totally state economy to a market economy. This inevitably leads to emergence of legal structures unknown to European systems of law and order. This issue has not only a theoretical but also practical nature.
Originality/value
Studies of this problem have never been conducted, neither in Russia nor in European legal science.
