What is citizenship? What is the essence of this concept?
The basic concept is this: citizenship is what is called the political stable connection between a person and the state; It implies their certain rights and duties in relation to each other. Almost any Constitution of the world contains a similar definition. From this in the future narrative we will proceed.
Citizenship is the right
Any person on this planet has the inalienable right to be a citizen of any country. No one can be refused a request to change it for another. The status of a stateless person ( stateless person) is not eternal, which is the responsibility of the state apparatus. People are entitled to citizenship in a given country if they or one of their parents were born there. All this is described by the United Nations, and such a rule can not be violated.
Citizenship of the Russian Federation is a right not only from birth
Naturally, a child born in the territory of a certain state becomes It is his citizen. But it is possible to obtain this right in a more conscious age in a general or simplified manner when restoring citizenship, as well as on other grounds provided for by law. All this concerns those people who were not born in the territory of the Russian Federation. The description of how, when and under what conditions one can become a citizen of the Russian Federation, is contained specifically in thirteen articles of the Constitution. The process itself is carried out in accordance with international treaties. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the basic conditions for obtaining the right to citizenship are the possession of the Russian language, the availability of legal sources (that is, money) for existence, the renunciation of the already existing citizenship. In addition, it is necessary to pay a state fee of two thousand rubles.
Dual citizenship is a rare phenomenon
Dual citizenship must have absolutely legal grounds. In fact, this is exactly the situation that occurs infrequently. Such citizenship is either an opportunity in a certain state to become politically connected with another, or a special state when the subject for one reason or another has the opportunity to participate in the life of the two countries simultaneously. Nevertheless, it is worth distinguishing from this concept and another - multi-citizenship, when a person falls into a similar situation, but immediately with several states. It first appeared as an idea after the creation of the European Union, then it became partially implemented, because of which it was necessary to take some measures and amendments. Nevertheless, people who have and have several citizenships in Europe still receive their special rights and opportunities. However, now this idea is being implemented much more actively than before, and with the accession of the Russian Federation to the European Union, we have mentioned what we mentioned before - dual citizenship that allows those born in Russia to live freely in another country that (in the main) is included In the composition of Europe. So dual citizenship is absolutely legal.
