The article reveals theoretical approaches to the content of the legislative definition of the concept of “unclaimed land share”, which appeared in Russian law as one of the legal consequences of the ongoing land reform, which led to the disposal of significant areas of agricultural land from economic use. Separate approaches of theoretical scientists to the content of the editions of the theoretical institute under study that have been changing over 30 years are analyzed. An assessment of innovations that have significantly changed the legal definition of the concept and regulation of the legal fate of unclaimed land is given.
