“…The rural population, although clearly the less powerful actor due to the virtual lack of social movements, is not completely passive in shaping the trajectory. Through various "weapons of the weak", plot holders try to influence LFEs, agroholdings and local authorities to continue social support (Nikulin 2003;Mamonova 2016;Moser 2016).…”

This article investigates the regionally varied changes in social support and responsibilities of large-scale farms vis-à-vis household plot holders and their rural communities in post-Soviet Russia. Ongoing marketisation puts pressure on the Sovietinherited symbiosis between large farms and household plots. We observe that large farms' shift to Anglophone-style, explicit Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) hides declining support for villagers and sometimes even dispossession. In the second of our two case studies, a less well-endowed region, the inherited symbiosis continues with modifications ("implicit CSR") and helps sustain comparatively higher household plot production. RÉSUMÉCet article examine les variations régionales associées au soutien social et à la responsabilité des grandes exploitations agricoles envers les détenteurs de parcelles domestiques et leurs communautés rurales en Russie post-soviétique. L'expansion actuelle du marché induit une pression sur la symbiose entre grandes exploitations et parcelles familiales héritée de l'URSS. Nous observons que les grandes exploitations optent pour une Responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) de type anglophone qui occulte une diminution du soutien aux villageois, et parfois même leur dépossession. Dans la seconde de nos deux études de cas, menée dans une région moins productive, la symbiose héritée de l'ère soviétique se perpétue avec quelques modifications (ce que nous qualifions de « RSE implicite ») et contribue à maintenir un niveau comparativement plus élevé de production dans les parcelles familiales.

“…In contemporary Russia, family farming is not the prevalent form of agricultural production. Large‐scale agriculture—established with the state and collective farms (sovkhozes and kolkhozes) in Soviet times—persisted despite market reforms (Moser ; Nikulin ). While enterprises often changed hands and juridical forms, large‐scale agriculture remained prevalent: some successor enterprises of former Soviet farms persisted, others were bought up and incorporated into even larger companies, but also many private farms (misleadingly labelled “peasant farms” in official statistics) grew to the size of several thousand hectares, some outgrowing the former kolkhozes (Wegren ).…”

Not About Land, Not Quite a Grab: Dispersed Dispossession in Rural Russia

In most literature in geography and agrarian studies, rural dispossession is neatly related to land rights or access, a trend that increased with debates about the recent wave of farmland investments worldwide. Drawing on long‐term fieldwork in rural Russia, this paper critiques that focus and the assumed nexus between rural dispossession and farmland, as is prevents an understanding of more dispersed stakes, modes and temporalities of dispossession. I introduce the concept of dispersed dispossession which advances our understanding of social and relational objects of dispossession beyond natural resources (such as sustaining institutions and infrastructures), and the tangled, complex, often slow and silent modes and temporalities of dispossession beyond spectacular events. I show how the concept sheds new light on current agrarian change in Russia, and how it contributes to debates on (rural) dispossession and “land grabs” more generally.

Purpose of the study: The article analyzes constitutional and legal responsibility binding federal executive authority officials of the Russian Federation: federal ministers, heads of federal services and agencies. Special attention is paid to features of entrenching responsibility of the specified persons in the Russian legislation. Methodology: On the basis of such an analysis, on the example of the legislation of the Russian Federation, authors investigate problematic aspects of legal regulation and responsibility. The authors raise the questions connected with the lack of specific entrenchment of the legal status born by officials. Presently it remains unclear whether equating the constitutional legal status of the federal services and agencies officials with the status of the federal ministers and identification of responsibility is guaranteed. Results: Authors formulate a conclusion that constitutional and legal responsibility of federal executive authority officials is a voluminous yet scarcely studied legal phenomenon that does not possess sufficient legislative regulation. Applications of this study: This research can be used for the universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality of this study: In this research, the model of the Constitutional and legal responsibility binding federal executive authority officials in the Russian Federation is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.
