On the prospects for the development of the Arctic territories of the Russian Federation

The author notes the existence of a conflict between the rights of land owners (under the Arctic Hectare program) and the rights of indigenous small-numbered peoples. It is noted that in the Russian Federation, partnership relations are developing between representatives of the KMNS and government agencies based on the differentiation of the law of the places of traditional nature use of KMNS and other territories. However, this general approach requires a long-term elaboration and development, namely, solving the problems of delimiting the traditional habitats of indigenous peoples and the territories of the "Arctic Hectare", their mutual legal status, as well as: 1) clarification in the legislation of the inadmissibility of reducing the area of territories occupied by agricultural enterprises with reference to the development goals of the Arctic territories; 2) the need for a clearer delineation of urban common lands and territories provided under the Arctic Hectare program.
