This godforsaken country is introducing the bill that allows to strip people of birth-given russian citizenship for some things - like desertion and discreditation of army (which happens every time you question war)

So, my question, if someone loses all citizenship, what happens next? Is their life basically over? Is there a way to re-gain citizenship (like, in another country)? Can they be deported?

    I mean, in Russia, anything is possible, but in any country that respects the rule of law, you’re a citizen if you pay taxes.

      There are tons of people (legally) working and paying taxes in the US and aren’t citizens. I get what you mean, but…

        As a citizen of the US, it’s not like we entirely respect rule-of-law. We’re all too happy to overlook enforcing laws against rich/famous/corporate, and all too happy to overlook legal protections for poor/immigrants/minorities.

      I don’t know if that’s true anywhere, but it’s not true in either of the countries I’ve lived in.
