This book, for the first time in Russian research tradition, explores the issues of land formation and surveying in the context of land lawsuits from mid-18th century till present day. The authors extensively use the combination of historical and juridical methods of research based on the works of surveying engineers and lawyers in the period of Russian empire. The book demonstrates that land lawsuits can be separated, within the modern law, as a stand-alone group of the ways of defending the land rights.
The book is designed for lawyers, judges, and cadastral engineers, as well as for undergraduate students specializing in land matters.
