President Vladimir Putin has
approved a law giving Russian citizens free plots of land in the
country's Far East, the Interfax news agency reported Monday.
All citizens will be entitled
to apply for up to hectare of land in the Kamchatka,
Primorye, Khabarovsk, Amur, Magadan and Sakhalin regions,
the republic of Sakha, or the Jewish and Chukotka
autonomous districts.
The land can be used
for any lawful purpose but can only be rented, sold, or given away after
an initial five-year waiting period, according to the bill.
The program is one of a
number of initiatives aimed at boosting the economy
in Russia's Far East, including the construction of the new
Vostochny cosmodrome. A recent deal also saw a number of Chinese
companies set on relocating to the area.
