The reform of the ’90s led to the elimination of state’s monopoly of landownership and to the privatization of most agricultural lands. Within the small auxiliary sector of agricultural land the turnover arose in the early reform. But in the large agro-industrial sector, the turnover of lands received the necessary legal regulation only in 2003 (more than 10 years later than the mass privatization of these lands). For this type of turnover, a significant part of the regulatory mechanisms was borrowed from foreign experience, because the domestic experience was absent. In modern Russia, the major regulators of the agricultural land market became the priority right of the state on the purchase of lands at their sale, the limited concentration of large land area owned by a citizen or legal person and the prohibition for foreign persons to have land in ownership. The practice of past decade has enabled to identify a number of disputable issues associated with these mechanisms. They are examined in this article. Also, there were considered the mechanisms which can supplement the current regulation system of the land market, but which, for various reasons, are not used.
