The provisions of inheritance law protect the rights and interests of participants in hereditary legal relations, and the institution of extortionate property is aimed at a broader sphere, since it has social significance. The legal regulation of inheritance of extortionate property solves the problem of reducing the volume of ownerless property by converting this property into public.

The article substantiates the need to adopt a special law on the order of inheritance and accounting of extortionate property, which is transferred by law to the property of the Russian Federation in the order of inheritance by law; the main provisions of this law are elaborated.

International and environmental law in Russia does not provide a preventive and precautionary approach to forestall degradation of the marine environment and the “polluter pays” principle at the present stage. The author proposes supplementing international environmental law in the investigated area with an approach based on the principle that the polluter not only pays but also restores. Improvement of approaches and principles of international law will be the basis for changing Russian legislation and legislation of other countries in order to prevent degradation of the marine environment. After an oil spill, the coastal waters of the seas and their ecosystems are the most vulnerable; therefore, the national legislation of states is primarily interested in legal regulation of marine environmental protection in case of oil and petroleum product spills. The legal obligation on oil and gas producing companies to carry out measures to remediate the marine environment will require them to finance scientific research, search and develop new technologies for the safe development of subsoil resources and restoration of the marine environment. This study is a comprehensive analysis of the scientific research results in the field of biology, environmental protection, protection of water bodies, marine environment, as well as international and Russian environmental law governing relations in the field of marine environment protection during the development of mineral deposits on the continental shelf, internal sea waters, in the territorial sea and the adjacent zone of the Russian Federation.

The main source on the historical, demographic, socio-economic development of the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th century is the materials of the First General Population Census of 1897. Primary sources, that is second copies of the census forms preserved in the regional archives,play a special role in this. In this regard, it should be noted that the safety of materials in the Yakutsk region is quite significant. The introduction of census forms into scientific circulation is an urgent need and the relevance of this information is beyond doubt. In the process of working on the topic, we studied the materials of the First General Census of 1897, primarily in the fund I343 – the Yakut Statistical Committee. The census lists of the population of the town of Olyokminsk settled in the inventory No. 2, in two cases: case No. 63 Spasskaya Square of Olyokminsk District and File No. 68 Nikolaevskaya Square of Olyokminsk District. As a result of the study, we see a gradual increase in the population of Olyokminsk, a significant predominance of men, a widely represented class structure, and a multinational composition of the city’s population. The study of economic activity shows that the bulk of the town’s inhabitants were engaged in petty trade, agriculture, and administrative activities. The predominance of the alien population in the city: exiles, mine workers, representatives of the district administration increased the literacy of the population.
