THE KALMYKS' RECEIVING RUSSIAN CITIZENSHIP: HISTORICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS
Abstract
Since the middle of the 1980s democratic processes in Russia have inspired interest to its own history and the history of the nations living on its terri-tory. Nowadays there is necessity of defining citizenship as a legal institute of Russia. The aim of the article is to examine historical and legal issues of receiving Russian citizenship by Kalmyk people. Kalmyks' voluntary natu-ralization is not merely a legal act of fixing their status as citizens of Russia, but also a political act as Kalmyks were granted this status with the aim of protecting the southwest part of the country from invasions, thus ex-panding the state borders. The history of Kalmykia is closely connected with the history of the Russian state and with the process of naturalization.
