The corresponding document is published on the official Internet portal for legal information.
Russian citizenship will be deprived for committing serious crimes against the state, crimes of a terrorist nature, for drug trafficking, as well as for forgery of documents.
It is also specified that they will be deprived of citizenship acquired for public calls for extremism, the organization of an armed rebellion with the aim of changing the constitutional order, as well as for encroaching on the life of a statesman and participate in undesirable organizations.
