russian citizenship

Today we will talk about Russian citizenship. First, we need to understand what citizenship is, how to obtain it, and when you can officially consider yourself a Russian citizen. Russian citizenship is a legal connection between a person and Russia showing (allocating) the responsibilities, rights, and freedoms of a person. Anyone can become a Russian citizen, as long as they have all the necessary documents. However, indigenous people living in Russia receive Russian citizenship automatically, so a newborn baby is also considered a Russian citizen and receives Russian citizenship automatically. Here are some examples of when a person also receives Russian citizenship automatically. For example: Imagine a scenario where a plane is flying over Russian territory, and there is a pregnant girl on board, and the baby decides to be born right now. If the plane flies over Russian territory, the baby will automatically receive Russian citizenship. In addition, Putin has now introduced an article into the Russian Constitution stating that people who lived in the Soviet Union also automatically (if they wish) receive Russian citizenship. However, all other methods of obtaining Russian citizenship are very difficult and time-consuming (if you are a foreigner who came to work in Russia), you will need a work permit, various documents and certificates, and you must also live in the territory of the state for at least 5 years, in short, it is a real nightmare for a foreigner to obtain Russian citizenship. In addition, in Russia, a passport is issued from the age of 14 and this is a document that fully confirms that you are a citizen of Russia, but the rules are different in each country, and in some countries, passports are issued at the age of 18, while in others 21, and so on.
