Abstract

The article is devoted to the issues of legal regulation of Russian land ownership in the Caspian provinces of Iran. The appearance of large land holdings of Russian subjects and settlements of peasant colonists in the region shortly before the outbreak of the First World War required the search for ways to ensure their rights and interests. The situation was complicated by the lack of regulation of the issue in the existing Russian-Iranian agreements, as well as the negative attitude of both the Iranian government and Britain towards the expansion of Russian land ownership in the country. The article shows which solutions to the problem were proposed by local representatives based on practical experience in using available means, as well as the process of discussing this problem in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
