The Duma called the "main advantage" of the project on simplified citizenship

"The main advantage of the bill is that you do not have to give up the citizenship that you have," the deputy said in an interview with URA.RU.

As explained by Kalashnikov, all compatriots living abroad will have the right to obtain Russian citizenship without renouncing foreign citizenship.

According to him, the list includes countries where the largest number of compatriots live.

Earlier, Kalashnikov spoke about a government bill to simplify the acquisition of Russian citizenship. The initiative provides relief for residents of Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and Kazakhstan.
