Abstract

Mass media has lately started an active discussion about confiscation of property of Russia, Russian legal entities, individuals and affiliated persons in the USA. At the same time, there are no such cases with regards to any American contractors in Russia. In such a situation, a person with well-developed legal consciousness poses the question of legitimacy of such actions of the U.S. government, the legal aspect of the matter. To answer this question, it makes sense to study respective U.S. regulations, determine the specifics of this phenomena as compared to the Russian law and order for the purposes of clear differentiation of this procedure in the two countries that differ in terms of history and the legal family. The article reviews the property confiscation issue from the constitutional regulation standpoint, compares approaches of Russian and American legislators with regards to the property confiscation grounds, procedure and consequences before and after the start of the active use of the sanctions pressure mechanism. The author concludes that there is an obvious abuse of power by the U.S. legislator in terms of the regulation of this institution as compared to the Russian Federation.
