A draft law has been submitted to the State Duma, according to which persons admitted to Russian citizenship will be deprived of it in cases of evasion from military registration, as well as the performance of military duty and mobilization.
The draft law has already been written, but has just been submitted to the State Duma for consideration. Now the deputies will discuss and, if necessary, adjust the wording of the bill.
If the deputies of the State Duma vote for the adoption of the law, a similar vote should be held in the Federation Council. And only then it will be sent for signature to the President of the Russian Federation.
It should be noted here that Russian draft laws concerning mobilization are being adopted extremely quickly and actively.
The initiator was the infamous State Duma deputy from the Communist Party Mikhail Matveev. Earlier, he had already called for the creation of "Tajik battalions" and expressed indignation at the fact that migrants from Central Asia are not being called up enough as part of mobilization.
"All these newlyfound citizens receive citizenship with only one goal – to milk Russia like a cow, to live here freely and earn money, often without paying taxes, but at the same time to receive social benefits for the whole large family transferred to Russia, to have access to our education and healthcare system. But when it comes to fulfilling their duties to Russia, a howl immediately rises," Matveev said.
The amendments are aimed only at those who wrote an application for admission to the citizenship of the Russian Federation, that is, who acquired citizenship. If you have obtained citizenship by birth, then you cannot be deprived of citizenship for evading mobilization.
Citizenship can be revoked in any case if you evade the army – including both mobilization and civilian or alternative military service without participation in the war in Ukraine.
Together with the draft law, an explanatory note has been published on the State Duma website. In it, the parliamentarian noted that often foreigners, receiving citizenship of the Russian Federation, do not register for military service, ignoring this duty.
"There is a situation when foreign citizens acquire citizenship of the Russian Federation without having the intention to carry out the duties established for citizens of the Russian Federation, including military duty, but at the same time receiving rights in the form of social guarantees, access to the education and healthcare system, etc.," the note says.
The parliamentarian emphasizes that "this is of particular relevance for those who were granted citizenship of the Russian Federation during the "special military operation".
The explanatory note also notes that in 2022, more than 691,000 foreign citizens received Russian citizenship, most of whom are residents of Tajikistan (173.6 thousand people).
