The relevance of the problems investigated in the article is due to the fact that the questions about what “equitable reparation” means and how the value of compulsory alienated property should be calculated are of a fundamental nature. The purpose of the article was to establish the principles of equitable reparation in the case of compulsory alienation of immovable property in the Russian Federation. The leading research method for this problem is the analysis method, which allowed studying the legislation of the Russian Federation on this issue and highlighting the principles of equitable reparation in the case of forced transfer of immovable property on the basis of judicial practice. The article identified four principles of equitable reparation in Russian law; it was established that the legislation and judicial practice in determining reparation in the event of compulsory alienation of immovable property in the Russian Federation are imperfect, which leads to numerous litigation in the event of disagreement about the valuation of property; the necessity of defining the concept of “equitable reparation” in regulatory legal acts was explained. © Rushing Water Publishers Ltd. 2019.
