Abstract
Aim. To analyze the Spanish experience in regulating the sub-institute of status to improve the domestic institution of citizenship, in particular its sub-institute of recognition as a citizen of the Russian Federation.
Methodology. The key research method was the formal legal method, which allowed the author to analyze the rules on citizenship enshrined in Spanish normative legal acts in the original language. The use of the comparative legal method allowed the author to compare approaches to the interpretation of sub-institutions of recognition as a citizen in Russia and possession of the status of a citizen in Spain, to identify the general and particular in them. The views of domestic and foreign researchers on the nature and characteristic features of these sub-institutions of citizenship are presented.
Results. Based on the comparative analysis of the Russian sub-institute of recognition as a citizen of the Russian Federation and the Spanish sub-institute of possession of the status of a Spanish citizen, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to supplement the norm on recognition as a citizen of the Russian Federation with specific proposals.
Research implications. Based on the Spanish experience of legal regulation of citizenship issues, the classification of methods of obtaining Russian citizenship has been adjusted, as well as conclusions have been drawn about the nature of the sub-institute of recognition as a citizen of the Russian Federation and proposals for its improvement.
