The1922 Land Code of the RSFSR (Russian:Земельный кодекс,Zemelniy kodeks) was the first principal document that systemizedlandlegislation in theRussian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. It was adopted at the 4th session of theAll-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) and carried into effect on December 1, 1922.
The 1922 Land Code was elaborated under the supervision and with the direct participation ofVladimir Lenin. The main purpose of the code was to regulate the land tenure by rural communities. Similar land codes were adopted by other republics of theSoviet Union between 1922 and 1929. After the universalagriculturalcollectivization, land codes of the Soviet republics lost their significance.
In 1970–1971, theSoviet Union adopted new land codes in all of the republics. The1970 Land Code of the RSFSR was adopted on December 1, 1970.
In modernRussia the2001 Land Code of the Russian Federation (Земельный кодекс Российской Федерации от 25 октября 2001 г. N 136-ФЗ), with a number of later amendments, is in effect.[1]
