According to the press service of the regional department of the Investigative Committee of Russia, a native of Tajikistan has been stripped of his Russian citizenship in the Ryazan region.

It is reported that he was found guilty of evading military service.

According to the investigation, the native of Tajikistan, born in 2001, received Russian citizenship in May 2022.

The native of Tajikistan, whose name has not been disclosed, received a summons but did not appear at the military enlistment office without valid reasons. A criminal case has been initiated against him under Part 1 of Article 328 of the Criminal Code (Evasion of conscription for military service in the absence of legal grounds for exemption from this service).

The court found him guilty and imposed a fine, as well as stripped the man of his Russian citizenship.

“The citizenship of the convicted person has been terminated. On April 3, 2024, the convicted person’s passport of the Russian Federation was confiscated, and he will be expelled from the country in the near future,” the message from the Investigative Committee of Russia in the Ryazan region states.

Migrants report that Russia has simplified the process of obtaining citizenship, particularly for young people, but after obtaining citizenship, they are required to serve in the army or go to war.
