The specificity of the property rights dictates the special way in which the forest resources are used in Russia. Namely, the right of ownership and disposal rests with the state and the right to use the resources belongs to the individuals thus making the market unmanageable. In order to form an efficiently operating market of forest resources, the government should find an economic mechanism that could help get the maximal revenue (rent) by improving the enterprises’ profitability and by forming public private partnerships.
