The chairman

State Duma deputy from the Communist Party, Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on Regional Policy and Local Self-Government Mikhail Matveev announced the submission to the Duma of a bill on the deprivation of acquired citizenship for evading military registration and mobilization.

“The bill on the deprivation of acquired Russian citizenship for evading military registration and mobilization is ready and will be submitted to the State Duma next week,” wrote he is in his Telegram channel.

Matveev announced the preparation of the initiative on 1 August. Then he arguedthat evading service would also be grounds for expulsion from the country. According to the deputy, in this case, members of the migrant’s family who received a Russian passport at the same time as the deviationist will also be deprived of Russian citizenship.

On August 17, the head of the Presidential Human Rights Council (HRC), Valery Fadeev, proposed that foreigners be registered with the military at the same time as the issuance of a Russian passport. According to him, they “should have not only rights, but also duties.”

According to the law “On military duty and military service”, citizens who have received Russian citizenship are required to register for military service within two weeks. In August, police raids on migrants with Russian citizenship became more frequent in the regions of Russia: they are taken to military registration and enlistment offices for military registration. In particular, such events were held in St. Petersburg and Chuvashia.
