Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of the legal status of a citizen of Belarus who
is simultaneously a citizen of the Union State of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation.
With the proclaimed equality of rights of citizens of the Union State in the territories of the Union
member states, Belarusians in Russia and Russians in Belarus remain foreign citizens with all the existing restrictions. Having analyzed the peculiarities of the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the author found that having received Russian citizenship and a Russian passport, a citizen of
Belarus does not acquire the full scope of constitutional rights of a full-fledged citizen of Russia. The
article notes the existing prohibitions and restrictions in Russia for Russian citizens who have dual
citizenship, without any exceptions for union citizens of Russia and Belarus, citizens of the Republic
of Belarus. It is proposed to change the current legislation by concluding an agreement between Russia and Belarus in order to bring the status of union citizens who have citizenship of both states in
line with the status of exceptional citizens of the state (who do not have other citizenship) in which
the union citizen resides.
