Can Public Official Take Away Passport and Citizenship of a Russian Citizen?
Everybody knows that a visit to the Immigration Office can bring plenty unpleasant things starting with time wasted in line-ups and ending with stress from talking to immigration officers. In recent years in Russia government has been reviewing questionable citizenships given to people and as a result many lose their citizenship. Furthermore, in Russia it is literally impossible to get medical help, buy public transit ticket and execute many rights without passport.
Having analyzed many situations like this, we conclude that anybody can stand a risk of losing citizenships, in particular those born in USSR. Especially, this concerns those people that were not born in Russia (born in former Soviet republics) and did not have permanent registration in Russia as of February 6, 1992 – the date when law on RF Citizenship dated November 28, 1991 was executed.
