Homestead Act for Russian Far East – Putin Supports Free Land Handout

The Russian president has approved the idea of offering large land plots for free to anyone who resettles to the Russian Far East to start a farm or other business.

Similar to the American “Homestead Act” that encouraged immigrants to settle in the western states of the US in the 19th century, Russian officials hope the land grant would motivate people to migrate to the Far East.
