The State Duma wanted to give Russian citizenship to Russian children born abroad without the consent of a foreign parent

The State Duma will consider amendments to the law "On Citizenship", which propose to give the child citizenship of the Russian Federation regardless of the place of birth, if at the time of his birth one of the parents had a Russian passport, as well as to cancel the need for the consent of the foreign parent. The corresponding amendments were introduced to the Duma by Tatyana Moskalkova, Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, she is quoted by RIA Novosti. Also, the state agency publishes an excerpt from the document that it has at its disposal.

“A child acquires the citizenship of the Russian Federation by birth if on the child’s birthday: 3. One of his parents has the citizenship of the Russian Federation, and the other parent is a foreign citizen (regardless of place of birth),” the document says.

The explanatory note states that such amendments are needed, since at present, in the event of a conflict in families, the requirement for the mandatory consent of a foreign parent often becomes “an insurmountable obstacle to obtaining Russian citizenship for a child.”

In total, more than 65 amendments were received to the draft law "On Citizenship", the draft may be considered in the second reading in April, the agency notes.

The draft law, which was adopted in the first reading on April 5, 2022, spoke about the deprivation of acquired citizenship for crimes of a terrorist nature, serious crimes against the state, as well as crimes in the field of trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, forgery of documents or at the voluntary request of a citizen.

Earlier, the EU, within the framework of a new package of sanctions, was going to blacklist Ombudsman Tatiana Moskalkova, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Moscow Region Vyacheslav Dukhin and Minister of Family, Labor and Social Protection of Bashkortostan Lenara Ivanova due to the organization of mass abductions of Ukrainian children by Russia from the occupied territories. In February, the Conflict Observatory project came to the conclusion that in the Russian Federation there is a network of institutions that “re-educate” Ukrainian children abducted during the war.
