Repatriation is a new process in Russian legislation, with the purpose of returning compatriots from abroad. The Repatriate program gives an opportunity to get a residence permit in simlified order and resettle those, whose relatives lived on the territory of Soviet Russia or Russian Empire, for those who once left and renounced Russian citizenship. This basis for obtaining residence permit and Russian citizenship is especially suitable for ethnic descendants of those who once left Russia and lost their citizenship. Even if repatriade does not speak Russian, but is able to prove that one of his old relatives was born or lived in the territories of Russia, RSFSR or in Russian Empire, he can get an official status of Repatriate, then a residence permit and Russian citizenship.
This migration procedure simplifies the acquisition of citizenship. According to the new rules of this year, the applicant must prove that his relatives lived in Soviet Russia or in Russian Empire. Showing this, a foreigner will receive a residence permit in 3 month and then in another 3 months Russian citizenship, in an accelerated and simplified way.
