Can a foreigner get a second citizenship (Russian citizenship) Or does he have to give up his previous citizenship in order to get it? and got a better answer
Response from
Russian law does not allow dual citizenship, but there are exceptions with some states that have agreements about it. Well in principle if not then simply when applying for citizenship attach a copy of your letter to the embassy of your country in RF, which you declare renunciation of citizenship. The result - the documents are accepted, the citizenship is issued, but the letter will remain in the embassy. Because this is not a reason for renunciation of citizenship, and you are not deprived of citizenship. So you actually have two citizenships, not double, but in any case you should hide the non-Russian passport and do nothing with it. Will there be any problems if they find out?

In general, citizenship should be one.

it all depends on the law of his country whether it allows dual citizenship or not
I don't know, but I don't think more than one is allowed!
