22.08.2016

The Parliament Speaker Vadim Krasnoselsky, State Duma deputy Sergei Chizhov and candidate for the lower house of the Russian parliament Oleg Kankov conducted joint reception of citizens in the public reception of "The United Russia" party, opened recently in Pridnestrovian capital. "We want to be citizens of great Russia". This was the main leitmotif of the majority of applications.

Retired, invalid of the second group Vladimir Gavrilov and his wife petitions for relief for them to take Russian citizenship. The validity of their Ukrainian passports has long expired. As the Russian law does not imply dual citizenship, and the data about the Ukrainian citizenship of spouses were entered into the database of the relevant services of the Russian Federation, now the Russian decision is difficult, if not impossible. The couple needs to treat retired their son lives in Serpukhov near Moscow. The veteran is asking to help with the acquisition of Russian citizenship.

A large group of young Pridnestrovians born after 1991 came to public reception of "The United Russia". Most of them do not have any nationality, except Pridnestrovian, but it does not allow travel outside the republic. Some of young people need Russian citizenship to enter the military service under the contract in OGRF (which is impossible without it), someone - to formalize the custody of younger brother, anyway there are a lot of life situations.

The head of the republic's legislature Vadim Krasnoselsky continued the theme of citizenship in a conversation with young people, visitors to the public reception of the party "United Russia".
