Problems of registration of the land title by subsoil users

Abstract

The article is devoted to some legal problems which subsoil users face when they register the land title. These problems include the following ones. Firstly, correlation between articles 12 and 25.1 of the Law of the Russian Federation «On Subsoil» does not lead to a clear conclusion regarding the document which should be received before – whether it should be a license to subsoil use or a license to land. Secondly, the Federal Agency for Subsoil Use does not support the winner of the auction for the acquisition of the land title in registration of his/her title to the land. Thirdly, in the situation of withdrawing the land being used by third parties for subsoil use purposes, there is no possibility of forced division of the demanded land.
