Abstract
The author analyses legal and economic aspects of the concept of property in relation to natural resources. It is shown that the interpretation of this concept in jurisprudence loses sight of the very sources of income, including natural rent. However, by its very essence, the latter is a public good belonging, on equal terms, to all members of society. The author underlines the importance of the transition to the rent principle of taxation which should be complemented by the principle of common property of the citizens of Russia to natural resources (property of the whole people). It is proposed to single out common joint ownership and common share (civil) types of property. This should allow making optimal use of natural rent which would be used for Russia
