Remember that you can become a citizen of Russia by birth, upon obtaining citizenship, upon restoration of citizenship of the Russian Federation. If your child was born in Russia and one of the parents or both had citizenship of the Russian Federation, in this case the child becomes a citizen of the Russian Federation without legal delay. Refusal to obtain citizenship may be calls for changes in the constitutional system, criminals who have not served their sentence, false information about themselves and the use of false documents.

Write a statement to the visa and registration department, enclosing the necessary package of documents, which OVIR inspectors will inform you about, pay a state fee of 1000 rubles and after 6-7 months you will receive the long-awaited Russian passport.
