The Ministry of Internal Affairs will check the data of those who acquired Russian citizenship but did not register for military service
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a request to military registration and enlistment offices regarding naturalized citizens.
The department wants to know how many people who acquired Russian citizenship never registered for military service.
The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk, wrote about this on her Telegram channel.
It is noted that these measures are being taken within the framework of the amendment adopted on August 8, 2024, concerning the legislation on acquired citizenship.
The document provides for the termination of acquired Russian citizenship in the event that a person has ignored registration with the military registration and enlistment office.
In this regard, law enforcement officers are going to study information about those who acquired Russian citizenship and did not fulfill their obligations to the state.
Volk also shared statistics showing that over the past 8 months of 2024, 1,100 people who had acquired citizenship were subsequently deprived of it for committing various illegal acts.
