A participant in a special military operation (SVO) encountered problems obtaining a Russian passport. RT reports this.
42-year-old Sergey Latypov was born in Tajikistan. In 2008, a man came to Orenburg to work, but lost his Tajik passport and was unable to restore the document. At the Consulate General of Tajikistan, he went through the identification procedure and received a certificate of loss of citizenship.
In Russia, a man met his future common-law wife. They had two children. In April 2024, Latypov went to the North Military District as a grenade launcher, was wounded twice and received a state award. At the front, he learned that his wife had died, and his sons were sent to an orphanage, since the children were registered with his wife.
Only a year later he was able to return, established paternity through the court and obtained temporary custody of the children. He asks to issue him at least a temporary identity card so that the children do not end up in an orphanage again.
Previously, a SVO participant from Morocco received Russian citizenship. The 38-year-old man signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense in the summer of 2024 and went to the front. During a short vacation, he took the oath of citizenship of the Russian Federation and received a new passport. “A special procedure for acquiring Russian citizenship was applied to him,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained.
