Dmitry Medvedev signed a law simplifying the procedure whereby compatriots can receive Russian citizenship

October 2, 2008

The federal law makes amendments to Article 14 of the law “On the Citizenship of the Russian Federation.”

The law provides for a simplified procedure for receiving citizenship (eliminating the requirements of a five-year period of continuous residence in the territory of the Russian Federation, the existence of a legitimate source of subsistence income and fluency in Russian) within the state programme to assist the voluntary resettlement of compatriots abroad in Russia.
