Federal Law No. 341-FZ of August 3, 2018, introduced large-scale changes to the Land Code of the Russian Federation and several other legal acts of the Russian Federation, as a result of which new regulations on public easements in Russia appeared. Now public easements can be established not only in the interests of the general public (Article 23 of the Land Code), but also in favor of specific entities that place and operate certain infrastructure lines on land plots belonging to others (Chapter V.7 of the Land Code). In the author’s opinion, the updated rules on public easements do not stand up to criticism, first of all because of the peremptory manner in which such easements are established. The commentary is devoted to the formulation of questions arising in connection with the adoption of Federal Law No. 341-FZ of August 3, 2018, as well as to answering these questions.
