Russian land reform "a war and peace issue": Communists MOSCOW -- Land reform is "a war and peace issue, a matter of integrity and independence" for Russia, Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov said Thursday, announcing that his party would oppose Kremlin proposals to liberalise land sales. The approval of a new "land code" backed by President Vladimir Putin and due to be approved by the State Duma lower house shortly will "result in the sale of 98 percent of Russian land ... which is unacceptable," Zyuganov said. The code aimed at regulating the purchase and sale of private property was presented to parliament in April, a month after deputies had approved a law allowing the private ownership of non-agricultural land. Rules for the ownership and sale of agricultural land -- an emotive issue with deep cultural resonances in Russia -- are to be drawn up in a separate bill. Zyuganov, whose party along with the Agrarians, an allied parliamentary faction, has long opposed land reform, warned that land was "a war and peace issue, a matter of integrity and independence." The land code is due to be discussed in parliament Friday, but the Communists are hoping to have the vote put back till next week. Since 1994 the private ownership of land had been authorized by local legislation passed by regional parliaments or by local decrees but remained in contradiction with federal law. * * * * Your use of Yahoo!
