Теоретико-правовые аспекты отмены решений по вопросам гражданства Российской Федерации в связи с использованием подложных документов или сообщением заведомо ложных сведений

Abstract

The subject of this work is the study of legal norms contained in Federal Law of May 31, 2002 No. 62-FZ “On Citizenship of the Russian Federation” and international law, establishing grounds for canceling decisions on citizenship in connection with the use of false documents or the reporting of knowingly false information, as well as the judicial practice of their application. We pay attention to the fact that the cancellation of decisions on the acquisition of citizenship is a form of constitutional legal responsibility in the form of the cancellation of a legally significant result. The methodological basis of the research is formal logical, interpretative, logical, comparative legal research methods. Formal legal, interpretative, and comparative legal methods are used in the analysis of the specific content of legal requirements relating to questions of canceling decisions on questions of canceling citizenship of the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the analysis of the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation regarding the content of the concepts of “false document” or “knowingly false information”. Of practical interest is also the question of the possibility of applying restraint periods when canceling decisions on citizenship issues.
