Transformation of legal ideology in the field of regulation of dual citizenship in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The article analyzes the dynamics of the legal regulation of dual (multiple) citizenship of the Russian Federation, which reflects the legal ideology in the emerging geopolitical situation. Scientific concepts influence the law-making process and are reflected in legal acts on citizenship. Under certain conditions, law-making decisions, in particular, on the constitutionalization of the idea of the permissibility of dual citizenship, are based on the subjectivity of legislators. Dual citizenship is destructive for the foundations of the constitutional system of Russia, since its voluntary bearer loses the quality of loyalty to his state. It is necessary to cultivate moral imperatives that are stronger than legal principles and values. Loyalty of a citizen to his state (Russia) is the most important moral imperative that requires protection from the state. The next significant legal action in this direction should be the revision of Art. 62 of the Constitution of Russia — the exclusion from it of the norm on the voluntary right to have dual citizenship.
