Over 48,000 requests have been received this week from Russian citizens responding to a state-backed program giving away a free hectare of land in the Far East.
The program approved by Russian President Vladimir Putin last May is meant to populate and develop the region.
Starting February 1, any Russian citizen can claim their free hectare (10,000 square meters) of land in Russia’s Eastern and Pacific regions.
