Abstract
In the Soviet period the areas of seabed in the Okhotsk Sea and in the Pechora Sea were considered in doctrine as the seabed of the USSR’s historic waters. The Russian Ministry of Natural Resources has got different view and regards the above mentioned areas as continental shelf. This means that the status of the areas is less strong than in the Soviet period: instead of claiming sovereignty Russia claims only rights to natural resources. This article addresses the validity of such change of view with reference to the other cessions of continental shelf compared to the position of the Russian Empire and the USSR.
