OREANDA-NEWS  The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia issued a withdrawal from Russian citizenship to 40 citizens in 2022, the press center of the department told TASS. To get out of citizenship, you need to apply to the migration department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at your place of residence. Those who do not live in Russia can apply to a diplomatic mission or a consular institution of the Russian Federation.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs clarified that the period for consideration of applications submitted in the general procedure is no more than one year, in the simplified procedure — no more than three months. At the same time, there may be grounds to reject the application for renunciation of citizenship of the Russian Federation. Among the same grounds are the obligation not fulfilled before Russia, the involvement of the applicant as an accused in a criminal case or a guilty verdict against him.

The head of the Crimean State Council, Vladimir Konstantinov, proposed to deprive fellow citizens of citizenship who left Russia during the military operation in Ukraine. Maxim Fadeev, the head of the Presidential Council for Human Rights, said that he did not support the idea of depriving Russians of property or citizenship, because it contradicts the country's Constitution.
