Abandonment of the Legal Regime of Territorial Development Zones in the Russian Federation in Terms of the Actual Recognition of the Imperfection of Their Organizational and Legal Model (Part II)

In this work, a scientific attempt is being made to retrospectively study the essence of the special legal regime of territorial development zones in the context of its comparison with the special legal regimes of other similar types of territories already familiar to Russian legislation and domestic scientists. The author highlights a number of specific law enforcement issues regarding exactly how the federal law on the above-mentioned types of zones should have and could have "worked" in principle in the situations identified separately in the text of this article. The author appropriately draws attention to some of the objective reasons for the rejection of the legal regime of territorial development zones and emphasizes the rather long-term preservation of these reasons. The article analyzes the current and, at the same time, rather ambiguous practice of the intensity of the establishment of alternative special territorial legal regimes in those regions of the Russian Federation where previously territorial development zones could legally be created. This article also draws reasonable conclusions about the certain controversy of the repeatedly stated thesis about the total success of replacing territorial development zones with other types of territories with special legal conditions for economic activity in Russian regions, which have been experiencing insufficient or completely absent rates of development for a long time.
