For many years, the situation of migration policy in Russia was neglected, evasion of new citizens from military service was not controlled in any way. The adopted law on the service of new citizens in the army was necessary – it will allow us to restore order in this area, stated Margarita Lyange, member of the Presidential Council on Interethnic Relations of Russia, member of the Public Chamber, in a conversation with NSN.
Let us remind you that the State Duma passed the law On the deprivation of citizenship of migrants due to non-fulfillment of the obligation to initially register for military service. According to Lyange, such violations occur all over Russia due to a pre-existing gap in the legislation, so it is strange that such a rule did not exist before.
“In the end, this issue will be under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so far it seems that no one cares,” he added. “Our country is a transit point, and can Russian citizenship be used only to obtain social benefits?”
The expert believes that if they start depriving people of citizenship for evading service, then there will be noticeably fewer violations. According to him, it is important to ensure that for those who move to the country, obtaining citizenship entails not only choices, but also responsibilities.
