The following are not urgent questions, just suggestions to think about for future post.
How is land use sold in Russia? Is there an equivalent to Freeholding in the USA and Canada where land is deeded in perpetuity and (other than a stamp tax or sales tax) can be resold indefinitely? Or like China is it a lease of a limited life? Does it vary across the Republics?
How about greenspace and parkland areas in cities and the suburbs, are they fairly distrusted or does class/wealth matter now? Is access to these places, sports facilities, etc. subsidized or is pricing set by demand?
In Canada anyone can camp on crown land as long as they clean up behind themselves and do not start a fire, hunt without license, etc. Sweden has a similar land use policy that they extend even to private property, how does land access compare in Russia?
Really interesting article - thanks very much for sharing it.

Hello and thank you for your questions; the last of which is answered in today's note, the others are for later.
It’s wonderful to hear that so many grow their own food.
