An Oasis of the Future
A kin's domain - is it not a dream? A kin's domain of land granted for lifelong possession with the right to transfer it by inheritance, without any taxation of the land or the harvest. Is this a fairy tale? A fantasy? Not at all. Students of the Saratov University of Sociology and Economics believe that the kin's domain can solve such pervasive problems for Russia as unemployment, bribery, corruption, terrorism, divorce, a drop in the birth rate, an aggravation of the ecological situation, a worsening in the health of the nation, the fertility of soils, the quality of food products....
"For a period of centuries Russia has been trying to solve these problems, but thus far the result has been pitiful, the situation in the country only deteriorates with each passing day. It is possible to cope with all these problems. A way has been found, and it is called the 'kin's domain,'" confidently declare the authors of draft legislation respecting kin's domains and villages. The authors - M. Ermilova, I. Krasnova, and O. Savenko - were among the winners of a law students' contest for the best legislative initiative for the Oblast and State Duma. The contest was organized by the deputies of the Oblast Duma as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the parliamentary system in Russia.
How to solve global problems and, from a legislative perspective, organize one's idea, and bring it to life, was described by the students in detail and, honestly, in a very interesting way (which is why we are dwelling on this draft legislation) in the eleven sections of the their paper.
Just imagine.... People living on their kin's domains can choose whether they will work for low wages or not. The majority of people will have the opportunity to leave a boring and low-paying job without hesitation and to work on their plot of land with greater benefit for themselves. As a result, a demand is created in the labor market, and the businessman will have to pay his workers more. In addition, people who have received land not for a short-term lease but for lifelong possession will strive to restore the soils and to use everything that is better and useful, and causes less harm to the environment. They will not start to add pesticides or chemical fertilizers to the soil, or to raise contaminated products. With regard to demography, out of more than 2000 persons surveyed, 1995 answered that, if they had a kin's domain, they would want to have no fewer than two children, and rather three or more. Where does this desire come from? "Because people who are creating a wonderful, living oasis understand that they are creating something eternal, and want their children to rejoice in life," answer the students. By the way, they anticipate another question: "But where can we get that much land, so there will be enough for everyone?" First, not all people will want to have kin's domains for themselves. Second, one kin's domain may be home to an entire family consisting of several generations.
How can this not be a way to save Russia? But most of all, it was a pleasure to read this draft legislation - it was written in a language that was lively and emotional, not bureaucratic. Perhaps this style has a future?
There is no doubt that there will soon be a promising change of parliamentarians. Young people are not simply energetic, active, and inventive, they are intelligent and competent. They know all too well what problems are worth solving at present in the society and how to solve them. The have proved this not only with their competitive work, but also with their intelligent speeches at an inter-university "round table" that recently took place at the provincial parliament. At this event, the authors of the draft legislation respecting kin's domains received well-deserved awards from Pavel Bolshedanov, the Speaker of the Duma. And they were not the only ones. The contest committee also noted the papers of N. Malyugina and N. Denisova (Saratov State University of Economics) entitled "The social support of young families requiring housing," and of S. Katusheva (Saratov State Academy of Law) entitled "The mobility of citizens."
