“I, Full Name, voluntarily and consciously accepting citizenship of the Russian Federation, swear: to comply with the Constitution and legislation of the Russian Federation, the rights and freedoms of its citizens; fulfill the duties of a citizen of the Russian Federation for the benefit of the state and society; defend the freedom and independence of the Russian Federation; “be faithful to Russia, respect its culture, history and traditions,” everyone who becomes a citizen of the Russian Federation will have to say.

According to the head of the Committee on Legislation and State Construction, Pavel Krasheninnikov, more than 90 options for the oath were considered, proposed by both deputies and ordinary citizens.

“The text is laconic, and we agreed that a passport will be issued immediately after taking the oath. We had discussions about when to do this, but we agreed on it,” Krasheninnikov said.

Let us recall that the ceremony of taking the oath was proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
