The decision was taken after several years of discussion about how to prevent neo-Nazi interest, officials said.

The property has been leased from its owner by the government since 1972, and it was used for many years as a centre for people with disabilities.

Russia has announced plans to offer free land to citizens and foreigners who want to build homes or start business in agriculture or tourism.  Land in Russia’s far east is up for grabs after a Russian lower house committee approved a bill that offers the free handover of 1 hectare (2.5 acres) of land to foreign citizens. RT.com reports: However, foreigners will only be allowed to use the land, and the registration of full property rights is only possible after the naturalization of potential owners. The original bill was drafted by the Russian government in November last year.
