The paper considers the most widespread type of Russian eco-settlements – kin’s domain (or Anastasian) settlements (KDS). The author claims that the success rate of every separate KDS depends primarily on the settlers’ cohesion and their rootedness, which implies a high proportion of permanent settlers (including during the winter season); their financial security; well-organized household; and confidence in obtaining and maintaining legal title to the land. Based on field research, the author identifies the following factors that determine the degree of the settlers’ cohesion and rootedness: a) the number of residing families (the higher the number, the more difficult it may be for them to find common ground); b) the age of the settlement (this influences the relations between the residents, as well as their general sentiment); c) the distance to large towns (rootedness is generally low in the proximity of large towns; however, as the distance increases, rootedness tends first to grow, then drop, and finally grow again in remote places; and d) governance (the most important administrative decisions concern the policy on admitting newcomers and the decision on who will hold title to the land — the settlers themselves or a special purpose legal entity).
