  • Russia Legal Provisions
    Russia Legal Provisions Compiled by: SBH Russia Moscow, January 2018 GENERAL REMARKS Like Switzerland, the Russian Federation has three levels of government authority: the federal State, the so-called “subjects of the Federation” (republics, regions, etc.), and the municipalities (local self- government). The Russian Federation has 85 “subjects” including the cities of Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Sevastopol as cities of national importance (hereafter “Regions”) and approximately 22,000 municipalities. The legislation of the Russian Federation consists of the Constitution (adopted in 1993), federal laws and federal constitutional laws, presidential decrees, government resolutions and other regulatory acts. Laws must respect the Constitution. Presidential decrees, government resolutions and regulatory acts must be in conformity with federal laws. The Regions can enact legislation in those areas which are not within the exclusive authority of the federal State. They can also adopt regulatory acts on matters delegated by federal law. Regional legislation must comply with federal law. International treaties have precedence over national law. At the federal level laws are adopted by the Parliament (State Duma and Federation Council), presidential decrees and government resolutions by the President, respectively the Government. Other regulatory acts can be issued by ministries and various government agencies. Switzerland Global Enterprise – Legal Provisions 1/48 As a general rule laws and regulatory acts must be published. Since November 10, 2011, legislation is published (in Russian only) through the internet portal www.pravo.gov.ru and in “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” (www.rg.ru/doc). Most regulations adopted by ministries and agencies of the executive branch must be registered with the Ministry of Justice.

  • 3D Cadastre Modelling in Russia”
    Russian-Dutch Project “3D Cadastre Modelling in Russia” Galina ELIZAROVA, Sergey SAPELNIKOV, Natalia VANDYSHEVA, Sergey PAKHOMOV, Russian Federation, Peter VAN OOSTEROM, Marian DE VRIES, Jantien STOTER, Hendrik PLOEGER, Boudewijn SPIERING, Rik WOUTERS, Andreas HOOGEVEEN, The Netherlands, and Veliko PENKOV, Bulgaria Key words: 3D cadastre, multilevel complex buildings, subsurface, 3D viewer, pilot SUMMARY This paper presents results of the Russian-Dutch project on 3D cadastre modelling in the Russian Federation. The purpose of the project was to assess added value of a 3D cadastre for better registration and recording of (rights regarding) multilevel complex buildings and constructions, and subsurface networks such as gas pipelines. The project included prototype development and a pilot with use cases selected in Nizhny Novgorod, Nizhegorodskaya Oblast. Experts from Rosreestr (Russian Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography) central and local offices, cadastral chambers, technical inventory offices and cadastral engineers participated in the pilot. The pilot was evaluated based on a structured questionnaire, with topics organised in various categories: general, legal aspects, spatial aspects, information dissemination aspects, etc. The pilot was conducted after the completion of the design of a 3D cadastral model (ISO FDIS 19152, LADM based) and the development of a web-based prototype for 3D cadastral visualisation. The prototype consists of a 3D viewer that shows the cadastral objects in 3D space, and permits to make selections on e.g. cadastral number, name of the owner, number of rooms etc. The 3D cadastre 'investigation project' in the Russian Federation ended in July 2012. Based on the positive experiences from the project in general and the pilot in specific, recommendations for the future introduction of 3D cadastre have been formulated, including improvements in the Russian legal framework and the organisation of 3D cadastre.
