The right of state and municipal property: about subjects and objects

If we consider the right of state and municipal property from the position of its subjects, then the Russian Federation itself, and the entities that represent it, that is, the regions, autonomous okrugs and regions, republics, cities of federal significance, belong to the latter . What about property that is, say, national? After all, it used to be all folk. Today, land and other resources that do not belong to individuals or legal entities, as well as municipal entities, are treasuries.

So all the same, what is the right of state and municipal property, if we consider it in an objective sense? It is nothing more than a set of rules of law that determine the ownership of the material wealth of our country to various entities and regulate all issues related to the termination, implementation or emergence of ownership rights.

Considering the right of state and municipal property in a subjective sense, we have every reason to talk about the ability to dispose, own or use property (of course, public). Obviously, the first, second, and third should be carried out exclusively in the interests of the population, as well as to ensure the security of the Russian Federation and its defense capability.

It should be noted that property under the jurisdiction of the state has a two-level structure. One part of the objects belongs directly to the Russian Federation, and the other to its subjects.

As of today, the right to state ownership can be characterized by an unlimited number of objects. These include:

• Subsoil;
• water resources;
• Forest fund;
• resources of the continental shelf;
• enterprises producing radioactive as well as nuclear materials, including weapons;
• enterprises engaged in the production of state signs;
• Atom stations;
• Railways;
• objects of cultural heritage (both movable and immovable).

The above list can not be considered exhaustive. Only the main objects are mentioned in it. By the way, privatization of any of them is strictly prohibited.

At the same time, it can not be said that a special right of state and municipal property extends to the treasury, as well as to narcotic or poisonous substances. Let's think, but can the federal budget funds related to the treasury be allocated to support individual entrepreneurs or small business entities? Of course, they can. Consequently, it is impossible to speak about the exclusive nature of the right to it. Similarly, with narcotic or toxic substances. The first are part of many medications that are freely sold to citizens (based on the prescription). The latter in general are consumer goods. It's about all kinds of poison for insects and rodents.

Finally, let's see what is interesting about the right of state ownership of land. It is noteworthy here that natural resources, including land, belong to the state to the extent that they do not belong to citizens of the country, legal entities or municipal entities.
