A resident of Belarus can obtain Russian citizenship in a simplified manner if he was born in Russia or has Russian relatives. This was agreed in 1999 by Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. This agreement is called a quadripartite, and today it gives grounds for citizens of these states not to experience difficulties with obtaining citizenship of the Russian Federation.
