Russian Nationality Law

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Russian nationality law consists of the Constitution of Russian Federation (of 1993), the Federal act on citizenship of Russian Federation (of 2002, with the amendments of 2003, 2004, 2006) and the international treaties that cover citizenship questions to which Russian Federation is a party. In accordance with the supremacy clause of the Constitution international treaties of Russian Federation have precedence over domestic law. Until 1990 RSFSR was a subject of the Soviet federation. In 1990 there was declared state sovereignty of RSFSR, though the USSR had not been abolished until the end of 1991. Declaration of state sovereignty introduced RSFSR citizenship in its art. 11. The citizenship act text became ready in summer of 1991, but was adopted by Supreme Council (the legislative body of RSFSR) only on November 28, 1991. On January 23, 1992 some changes with respect to USSR dissolution were applied to the text, the resulting text was signed by the President and finally came in force after publication on February 6, 1992.
