The topicality of the research is based on the fact that Russia remains the largest forest power. The objectives of the review is to determine to what extent the authors of the work have developed this topic. As a positive fact, it is noted that the research has been done in the public law paradigm (not private law) and it is based on an extensive judicial material. The work outlines the competencies of different levels and structures of public power in Russia. The book shows reasonably the forest legislation overlaps non-profile  branches of the RF legislation., i.e. civil, land, water, environmental etc., which inevitably leads to conflicts. The work criticizes the RF Forestry Code of 2007. Its major drawback is the lack of the definition for the subject of regulation which is forest relations according to the authors. Besides, the norms are written in an intricate language and redundant with inaccurate wording. Its enactment according to the book has worsened the mess about various issues of forestry management. The book makes practical suggestions. In particular, to unify the concepts contained in various legal acts; correct the conceptual mistakes of the Forestry Code; adopt model regional laws. Among the soft spots of the book, the reviewers mention insufficient attention to the analysis of legal regulation keep the biological diversity which are of value to implement the constitutional right of every person to favourable environment.
