The article is dedicated to the memory of MSU Professor Sergei Mikhailovich Korneev in connection with the 100th anniversary of his birth. Grateful memory allows the author to turn over the pages of his life history, emphasizing the huge contribution to the training of students working at universities in various parts of our country today. With the versatility of scientific interests and the presence of numerous works, S. M. Korneev, according to the author, had a special attitude to the doctrine of state property law created by him. Having singled out the fundamental characteristics of state property law as an economic phenomenon from the works of Professor Korneev, the author made an attempt to search for their development in the works of modern foreign civilists. And this attempt was crowned with success, because on the pages of the publication it was possible to prove that the professor’s ideas, even if not in an absolute form, are making their way, demonstrating the development in the research of modern foreign authors.
