Annex 1: Procedure for the Development of a Resettlement Action Plan
Stages Nature of activities Timing Responsible authority
Defining properties/land plots to be used
(only public land, no land acquisition
will be done)
Based on information provided by applicant in preliminary proposals
determine categories of affected population for subprojects.
Review and consider all feasible options for Project implementation to
avoid or minimize the scope of resettlement for individuals/legal entities.
Pre-project preparation Municipal authorities, the
PIU
Census of individual residents/legal
entities to be resettled, defining their title
on withdrawn immovable property,
valuation of the withdrawn properties
1. Based on information in subproject application collect and analyze
information on individuals/legal entities to be resettled and their immovable
property:
- information on individuals residing in the project area;
- characteristics of households/economic agents to be resettled;
- scope of expected loss (full or partial) of property and other losses;
- title information;
- information on vulnerable groups and individuals eligible for special
measures;
2. Putting the information into a system and splitting the population to be
resettled into 3 categories:
а) individuals with formal land/property titles;
b) individuals without formal land/property title at the beginning of the
census who claimed their rights provided that such rights are recognized by
national legislation or are recognized following the procedure spelled out
by the resettlement plan;
с) individuals without legal rights and claims to be recognized with respect
to land plots and properties they occupy.
3. Census completion and ensuring regular information updates regarding
conditions and standards of living of those to be resettled in order to have

а) individuals/legal entities having ownership, social rent, rental lease
rights:
Action with respect to owners of residential properties: residential property
can be withdrawn only in case of disposition of occupied land for
state/municipal needs on condition of providing pre-transaction
compensation of equal value.
- decision to withdraw residential property made by the body of
government authority or local government should be registered with the
body responsible for state registration of property rights and transactions.
- owner of the residential property at least one year prior to the withdrawal
should be notified in writing about withdrawal of the residential property
owned by him/her as well as about the date when such decision was
registered by the body that had made the withdrawal decision. Redemption
of the residential property before one year since such notification shall be
made only with the owner’s consent.
- Redemption price of the residential property, timing and other conditions
of the redemption shall be defined by an agreement with the owner. The
agreement shall include a commitment of the Russian Federation,
constituent member of the Russian Federation, municipality to pay the
redemption price for the withdrawn residential property (cost of the
residential property as well as all losses and opportunity cost).
- Should the owner disagree with the withdrawal decision, or in case the
agreement with the owner regarding redemption price of the residential
property or other conditions of its redemption fails to be reached, the body
of government authority or local self-governance making such decision
may bring a law suit on acquisition of the residential property. The suit may

be brought within two years upon forwarding respective notification to the
owner.
Action with respect to owners of residential housing in a block of flats
recognized as uninhabitable: in case a block of flats is recognized as
uninhabitable and set for demolition, the body making such decision may
demand that the owners of units in such house should demolish the house
within reasonable timeframe. In case the owners fail to demolish the
mentioned house by the mentioned deadline, the land on which the house is
located shall be withdrawn for municipal needs and therefore each
residential unit in this house shall be withdrawn on condition of providing
pre-transaction compensation of equal value, except for housing owned by
the municipality.
Determined by a decision of
a respective body of
executive power
Municipal authorities or a
corresponding body of

Action with respect to non-owners (living under social rent arrangements)
when residential property is transferred to non-residential or is recognized
as unfit for living: in case the residential housing occupied under social rent
is to be transferred to non-residential or is recognized as unfit for living,
individuals evicted from such housing shall be provided by the renter with
other residential housing with amenities under social rent arrangements.
The new housing should have necessary amenities with respect to the given
residential area, its total floor space should be equal to that of the
previously occupied housing, and it should meet the established
requirements and be located within the boundaries of the residential area.
The housing provided to the individuals who are evicted by court (should
they refuse to move voluntarily) should be mentioned in the court decision.

Action with respect to legal entities in case of lease termination:
termination of property (buildings, installations, premises) lease contract
shall be made in the same format as the contract itself unless laws, other
regulatory acts, contracts or business practice provide otherwise. Should the
lessee refuse to amend or terminate the lease contract, the lessor may bring
the case to court.
If the lease term is not specified in the property lease contract, such
contract may be terminated at any time with a 3-month notice of the other

b) individuals without formal land/property title at the beginning of the
census who claimed their rights provided that such rights are recognized by
Russian legislation or are recognized following the procedure spelled out
by the resettlement plan.
If the title can be confirmed with documents prior to resettlement, such
individuals/legal entities move to category a), if no confirmation can be
provided – to category c). The probability of addressing resettlement issues
for this category in court is high.

с) individuals without legal rights and claims to be recognized with respect
to land plots and properties they occupy.
Action with respect to residents who occupy housing illegally: in case
residential housing to be withdrawn is occupied by uncontrolled
settlers/squatters, the issue shall be resolved based on the type of household
to be deprived of housing. Social housing, hostels, boarding homes, etc.
options may be offered; however, no objective to maintain or upgrade
residential standards of the evicted household would be pursued.
Individuals in this category may be eligible for additional assistance by
means of job placement, training, self-employment, social benefits, child
allowances, etc. Special attention will be paid to the vulnerable populations
(e.g. those below the poverty line, elderly, young individuals, women and
children etc.).
Action with respect to legal entities/individual entrepreneurs who occupy
properties illegally: legal entities/individual entrepreneurs who occupy
land/property illegally will be enabled to continue their activities at an
alternative site. All informal users of property will also be entitled under
the Project to rehabilitation assistance or some for of support to enable
affected persons, who have lost their source of livelihood, to restore their
income levels to pre-project levels.

a) Natural /legal persons
with legal claims (right of
property, social rent, rent)
Housing owners Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve
their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore
them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels
prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation,
whichever is higher.
Article 32 of the RF Housing Code regulates the process of
evicting the owners of dwellings in confiscating a land plot for
state or municipal needs. A dwelling in this case may be
confiscated from the owner by means of purchase by the state,
with the confiscation of the according land plot for state or
municipal needs. The purchase of part of a dwelling is not
allowed without the agreement of the owner.
- The decision of the body of state power of the Republic of
Sakha (Yakutia) or body of local self-administration on
confiscation of a dwelling is subject to state registration at a body
that carries out state registration of rights to property and deals
with it.
- The owner of a dwelling, not later than one year before the
proposed confiscation of the given dwelling, must be informed in
written form on the decision about the confiscation of the
dwelling belonging to him, and the date of state registration of
this decision by the body taking the decision on confiscation. The
purchase of a dwelling before a year has passed from the day that
the owner receives this notification is only allowed with the
agreement of the owner.
- With a certain purchase price of the dwelling, it includes the
market cost of the dwelling, and also all the losses caused to the
owner of the dwelling by its confiscation, including losses that he
suffers owing to a change of residence, temporary use of another
dwelling until acquiring ownership of another dwelling, change of
place, search for another dwelling for acquiring the right of

dwelling, early termination of his obligations to third parties,
including the profit lost.
By agreement with the owner of the dwelling, he may be given
ownership in exchange for the confiscated dwelling of another
dwelling, deducting its cost from the purchase price.
- If the owner of the dwelling does not agree with the decision to
confiscate the dwelling, of if an agreement has not been reached
with him about the purchase price of the dwelling, or about other
conditions of its purchase, the body of state power or the body of
local self-administration taking this decision may file a lawsuit on
the purchase of the dwelling. A lawsuit on purchase of a dwelling
may be filed within two years from the moment that the owner of
the dwelling is sent the according notification.
Housing owners, whose dwelling
(apartment-building) is found to be
hazardous and liable for demolition
Same If an apartment-building is found to be hazardous and liable for
demolition (according to the procedure established by the
Government of the Russian Federation), the body that takes the
decision on finding this house to be hazardous and liable for
demolition receives ground to present the demolition order to the
owners within a reasonable period. If the owners have not carried
out the demolition of the building in the period indicated, the land
on which it is situated is subject to confiscation for municipal
needs, and accordingly each dwelling is liable for confiscation in
this building, with the exception of dwellings which belong by
right of ownership to the municipality, according to the procedure
stipulated by parts 1-3 and 5-9 of article 32 of the RF Housing
code.
No conflict between
the WB policy and Russian law
Occupants of dwellings under a social rent
contract subject to resettlement due to the
dwellings being converted into non-
residential premises or found unsuitable for
habitation
Same The procedure for providing a dwelling by social rent contract in
connection with the conversion of a dwelling into non-residential
premises, or if it is found unsuitable for habitation is established
by articles 87 and 89 of the RF Housing code.
If a dwelling that is occupied under a social rent contract is
subject to conversion to non-residential premises or found
unsuitable for habitation, the citizens evicted from this dwelling

under a social rent contract. The new dwelling that is provided to
citizens in connection with eviction on the grounds provided for
by articles 86-88 of the Housing code must be suitable in relation
to the conditions of the according inhabited area, equivalent by
total area to the previously occupied dwelling, meet established
requirements and be located within the boundaries of the given
inhabited area.
The dwelling provided to citizens who are evicted according to
court procedure must be indicated in the court’s decision on
eviction.
Legal persons whose rent of property is
terminated early
Same Early termination of a rent contract of property (building,
structure, premises) is carried out in the same form as the
contract, unless otherwise specified by law, other legal
documents, contract or business practices. If the tenant refuses to
change or terminate the rent contract, the landlord may go to court
(article 452 of the RF Civil Code).
If the rent term in the property rent contract is not determined,
then this contract may be terminated at any time, with a warning
about this by the other party three months in advance (article 610
of the RF Civil Code).
No conflict between the WB
policy and Russian law
b) persons without formal legal rights to
land plots / immovable property, but whose
claims can be recognized by the Russian
law or are recognized following order set in
the Resettlement plan
Such persons are provided resettlement assistance (resettlement
assistance may consist of land, other assets, cash, employment,
and so on, as appropriate) in lieu of compensation for the land
they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the
objectives set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area
prior to a cut-off date established by the borrower and
acceptable to the Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after
the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other
form of resettlement assistance. All persons are provided
compensation for loss of assets other than land.
Such cases can only be resolved through courts. In case of a conflict the World
Bank OP 4.12 takes the
precedence of the Russian
Federation Law.

the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other
form of resettlement assistance. All persons are provided
compensation for loss of assets other than land.
In the case that housing is lost that is occupied on the basis of
self-construction/self-seizure, for example, the municipality will
resolve this issue in accordance with the type of household that
has been deprived of housing. Options may be used for providing
temporary or permanent social housing, dormitory
accommodation, a place in a home for the elderly etc., but at the
same time, the goal of not worsening or improving housing
conditions for the evicted household will not be pursued.
In realizing measures for social support as part of the Project,
particular attention should be given to the most vulnerable
categories of the population (e.g., people living below the poverty
line, the elderly, young people, women and children, etc.). It
should be noted that in RF legislation on social policy, certain
measures for supporting these categories of citizens are provided.
They will be provided to evicted families or individuals if their
position corresponds to the formal attributes stipulated for this by
Russian laws.
