The lower house of parliament will finalize the law that the government rejected.
State Duma deputies insist that Russians who have committed serious crimes be stripped of their Russian citizenship.
The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, Alexei Zhuravlev, spoke on this topic, NEWS.ru reports.
The deputy emphasized that the State Duma does not understand why the Cabinet did not adopt this bill.
Zhuravlev noted that this decision would allow for a more thorough response to migrants who received Russian citizenship but do not respect the country’s laws.
The deputy pointed out that the State Duma proposes to revoke citizenship for desecrating monuments, calling for extremist activity, evading military service, and violating the law on foreign agents.
The parliamentarian said that one of the reasons for the government's refusal was the list of offenses for which citizenship could be revoked. The Cabinet considered it too long.
Zhuravlev said that the State Duma will review and revise the law, and will continue to promote this initiative.
Earlier, the State Duma announced whether a six-day work week would be introduced in Russia.
