Editing 1922 Land Code (section)

{{Short description|First major land regulation code in the RSFSR}}The '''1922 Land Code of the RSFSR''' ({{langx|ru|Земельный кодекс}}, ''Zemelniy kodeks'') was the first principal document that systemized [[real property|land]] [[legislation]] in the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]]. It was adopted at the 4th session of the [[All-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 of [[Vladimir 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 the [[Soviet Union]] between 1922 and 1929. After the universal [[agricultural]] [[collectivization]], land codes of the Soviet republics lost their significance.

In 1970–1971, the [[Soviet Union]] adopted new land codes in all of the republics. The [[1970 Land Code]] of the RSFSR was adopted on December 1, 1970.

In modern [[Russia]] the [[2001 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.<ref>[http://www.garweb.ru/PROJECT/LAW/doc/12024624/12024624-001.htm The 2001 Land Code of the Russian Federation] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030121214246/http://www.garweb.ru/project/law/doc/12024624/12024624-001.htm |date=2003-01-21 }} with amendments of 2003, 2004 and 2005 {{in lang|ru}}</ref>
