Narutto, S. V. On the Question about Changing State Boundary

Abstract: The article is devoted to the problems of changing state boundary by means of reducing and enlarging the state territory. The author notes that it is natural for a state to keep its boundary unchanged and to follow a stable regime. It creates certain guarantees for the state security and help to prevent territorial arguments and conflicts as well as to develop cooperation with other states. At the same time territorial arguments do exist and are often used for interference with the other country’s business. Special attention is paid at the fact that at the present time the process of legal establishing of certain parts of State Boundary of the Russian Federation is not completed and territorial problems still occur. The author describes the territories of the Russian Federation that raise most disputes. Answering the question about state territory, as the legal grounds for such changes the author views the sovereign expression of will by the population of a whole state or only population of the territory as well as agreements between concerned states.
