According to Russian MPs, a special privilege is drafted related to the speedy naturalization of foreign fighters. It applies to all foreigners signing up for Russian military service, which has fewer conditions.
Naturalization for Foreign Fighters
This measure by the Russian Parliament that was passed would offer them easy Russian citizenship just by fighting for the Russian Armed Forces, reported RT.
The bill was passed by both the Federal Council and the upper house of Parliament last Wednesday, with the concurrence of Russia's lower chamber and the State Duma the day before.
Foreign nationals seeking Russian citizenship must meet a few requirements; those fighting for the motherland will have an easier time. Such a new amendment will be easier to obtain for those who are interested.

Should the legislation be passed into law, it allows all other nationalities all eligible with an exception, which lessens the required service to only a year in the armed forces.
Those who fall under the incentive clause, compared to typical citizenship applicants, are not required to get a Russian residency permit or stay in the country for a specific time.
To apply for obtaining citizenship, they must always acknowledge that they will comply with Russian law, get a legitimate source of revenue, and speak Russian proficiently.
The proposed legislation by Russian MPs will also modify the prerequisites for a special privilege and how long a foreign fighter's original agreement to serve in the Russian military has to be.
Present rules say it should be five years, though the change is one year when Russian President Vladimir Putin will sign it.
