Restrictions to the Right of Property: Constitutional Versions in the Post-Soviet Countries

Purpose: The paper deals with constitutional approaches to the formalization of restrictions and deprivation of property rights in 12 post-Soviet countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine. Methodology: As an analysis of specific constitutional approaches to the restriction of property rights, the paper pays attention to the conditions for the admissibility of its deprivation, compensated withdrawal and alienation of property as an object of property rights. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Results: Based on the analysis, it was concluded that legal forms of restriction of the right to property are set forth in direct and indirect versions. The first reflects the direct wording of the permissibility of restricting the right to property; the second is due to the general rules of constitutional restriction of the rights of a person and citizen.
