Free Land in the Far East

In June 2016, Russia's parliament enacted a remarkable new policy: The Far East One Hectare Law grants all Russian citizens the right - free of charge - to one hectare of land in the vast, undeveloped Far East. The law, a pet policy of President Vladimir Putin, is aimed at reversing population decline and promoting economic development. This program looks at how people - young and old - are responding to this unprecedented offer.
