《俄罗斯驻美总领馆问答和默认双重国籍》

俄罗斯驻美国总领事馆网站有一些问答。

其中两个涉及俄罗斯对双重国籍的默认的理解。

原文是英文。笔者把它译成中文供参考。

有一句完全理解但总是翻译不好，即：

“according to the Russian Law, no person can be deprived of his/her citizenship, but on his/her stated (i.e. put officially in order) will.”中的“put officially in order”如何翻译是好？不知是否俄罗斯人把俄文译成英文的造成的问题。

那位可帮忙？

CONSULATE GENERAL OF RUSSIA
San Francisco

12. I came here from the former Soviet Union (USSR) or Russia and right now I am US citizen. Why do I have to confirm the absence of Russian citizenship in order to get Russian visa?

If you are a citizen of Russia and receive US citizenship, it does not mean that you automatically lose your Russian citizenship, because, according to the Russian Law, no person can be deprived of his/her citizenship, but on his/her stated (i.e. put officially in order) will. Russian Law does not forbid you to have several citizenships, however, considers you only a Russian citizen and does not recognize dual citizenship, and therefore, requires you to travel in and out of Russia on your Russian passport. The Consulate General as federal organization enforces the Law of the State, so, every person, whose foreign passports or travel documents indicate his/her place of birth as "Russia" or "USSR", or one of the states, which was a republic or a part of the former USSR, will be required to present a proof of absence of Russian citizenship.

如果您是一名俄罗斯公民，获得美国公民身份，并不意味着自动失去你俄罗斯公民身份，因为根据俄罗斯法律，不剥夺任何人可以其公民身份，但对其声明 （即官方程序） 会。俄罗斯法律并不禁止你有几个国籍，然而、 考虑你只是俄罗斯公民和并不承认双重国籍，因此，要求你在旅行用您的俄罗斯护照进出俄罗斯。总领事馆作为联邦组织强制执行国家的法律，所以，每一个人，其持有外国护照或旅行证件表明作为"俄罗斯"或"苏联"的出生地在哪里或一个国家，它是一个加盟共和国或前苏联的一部分，将需要出示的俄罗斯公民身份的证明。
