Aksyonov proposed to deprive the citizenship of those who do not rise to the anthem of Russia

It is necessary to raise the issue of depriving citizenship of those who do not rise to the Russian anthem. This statement was made by the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, on the air of the Crimea 24 TV channel.

“I consider it necessary to raise the issue of deprivation of citizenship if a case of not standing up to the Russian anthem is documented. Why do you need citizenship if you do not stand up, do not respect the symbols of the state – the flag, the anthem. Let’s … deprive of citizenship through the courts,” said he (quoted by RIA Novosti).

The day before, on March 15, the publication “Kaluga News” with reference to the head of the Maloyaroslavetsky district of the Kaluga region, Mikhail Bruk reportedthat the deputy of the Maloyaroslavetsky district assembly from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Alexander Lependin, who did not stand under the anthem of Russia, was handed a summons to the military registration and enlistment office at a meeting of the commission on ethics. A district deputy in the Kaluga region did not stand up during the performance of the anthem before the beginning of the report of the head of the district administration. About the fact that Lependin did not get up during the performance of the anthem informed On February 20, the Mayak regional information center published a photo of the sitting deputy.

Lependine explained that he was unable to get up due to the fact that his legs hurt after training. He informed “RIA Novosti” that has already come to the military registration and enlistment office.

Formerly Chairman of the Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights Valery Fadeev declaredthat the Constitution does not allow depriving a person of Russian citizenship acquired by birth, regardless of his status.
